Much has been written about the snack ban instigated by this Edward Albee revival at the behest of its star, Imelda Staunton.

BWW Reviews: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT TIME, Wolverhampton Grand, February 17 2015
by Jenny Antill
- Feb 18, 2015
Based on the 2003 novel by Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time premiered at the National Theatre in 2012. By the following year, it had transferred into the West End and won a massive seven Olivier Awards including Best Play. As well as continuing in London, it is also playing on Broadway and is currently in the middle of a UK tour. Having seen it at the Gielgud Theatre, I was hugely anticipating seeing the touring production which I saw in Wolverhampton last night.
