The Curious Case of Benjamin Button review: ‘nothing else like it in the West End’

JL;DR SUMMARY This West End production of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" offers a unique adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, distinguishing itself from the 2008 Brad Pitt film. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
