Festival Fringe, at Zoo Venues. The Stage heralded it as a "Must See" saying the production was "Dark, haunting and uniquely inventive... Curious Directive’s adaptation of Mervyn Peake's story is nothing short of phenomenal". Boy in Darkness was again adapted and performed for the stage by Gareth Murphy and produced by the Blue Elephant Theatre, London, in 2015 to great acclaim. It was a solo performance which The Stage described as "A physical theatre gem".
