We had the task of watching an interview between the playwright, director and main actor of Curious Incident. It was very interesting to watch and learn about how everything came together as we watched this production in London.

After watching the interview I created a venn diagram to show how all the creative processes linked together in order to achieve the final product and how each of the people found the task.
