About The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Following a highly acclaimed production in London’s West End, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON makes its North American premiere at The Public this fall. Olivier Award-winning writing team Jethro Compton and Darren Clark reimagine F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic story of an old man who is not at the end of his life, but at the beginning. Set in a Cornish fishing village on the coast of Great Britain, and brought to life by a company of 15 actor-musicians, this is the magical tale of a love that defies all odds.

It was simply a beautiful show
A really beautiful, touching show. Really beautifully done
This was an unusual and emotional journey through a life with the great Andrew Durand. It's quirkly and weird and takes you a while to get into it. However, it did give me all the feels. It is likely to transfer to Broadway, so it's good to see it first at the Public!
