It really is truly amazing how Luke Treadaway changes his voice for Christopher. If you were just listening to this video, you’d seriously think it was two different people talking when it switches from the interview to the performance clip!
I’m fine with that if they research it well. I’m a 15 year old female with autism and ADHD and I just played Christopher at my theatre. It is a very challenging role but my favorite part about playing him is finding connections with Siobhan, Ed, and Judy. The thing I relate to the most about Christopher is the panic attacks. I had to make them really intense when I did the show at my theater. The show is very heartwarming, because Christopher eventually finds trust in the other people that he meets. It made a lot of people cry.
@@Anime_theatre_lover im actually curious about this. I just yesterday found out I got cast as Christopher in this show at my school. Although I present some signs of being on the spectrum, I am not diagnosed and my biggest fear is being disrespectful. What would you consider the most important when having a potentially non-autistic actor portraying this character? Thank you
@@wrenjohnston113 No problem! I very much recommend doing a lot of research on neurodivergence and ESPECIALLY autistic meltdowns. One of the things that makes role the super hard, other than the insane amount of lines you have to learn, is portraying the emotions of the character. There are a good handful of scenes where Christopher has meltdowns whenever he is in what he considers to be uncomfortable situations. Even as a neurodivergent person it was really really difficult compared to other characters I’ve played, especially because I got the role as a freshman and there are scenes toward the end where he does really really advanced mathematics.
@@Anime_theatre_lover I totally understand!! Even with being neurodivergent I definitely don’t experience the world in the same way Christopher does. My director is getting in contact with other autistic actors to hear input from them and our assistant director is a special education teacher at my school so we have lots of resources within our production which always helps with remaining respectful but I just want to ensure I’m doing the best that I can to give this role what it needs. Thank you for your response! I’ll continue to do research and make sure I give Christopher the attention that he deserves :)
