Style + Stage // The Curious Incident ...


















Metallic Skirt - ASOS Old // Dress - Mirabela Dress Missguided 
Styling: Kate Maxwell // Photography & Direction: Ellie Rogers

A very simple outfit post inspired by the stage show THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHTTIME, playing at the Apollo in London.

Th show used a brilliant 'black box' as a framework for the staging, creating an environment where the action played out over the walls as well as on the stage itself. 

A dazzling use of lightning and sound created an utterly immersive world, where we share in Christopher's autism. 

The outfit is inspired by this use of a black structure to stress a bright and shifting subject, on stage this is Christopher's world, and here the foil skirt (one of my all time favorite items).

Has any one else seen the show? How does it compare to the book?
