The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

15-year-old Christopher stands beside his neighbor Mrs. Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight, and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington the dog. Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at math, but he is illequipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. But Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down. Simon Stephens’ adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling, award-winning novel TheCurious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time offers a richly theatrical exploration of this touching and bleakly humorous tale. Recommended for ages 13+ for language and themes of abuse
