Synopsis:

Fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone lives with his divorced dad in Swindon, London. After being falsely accused of killing a neighbor’s dog, Christopher—a neurodiverse individual, and who has difficulty with the sounds and stresses of everyday life—decides to investigate the crime. The secrets he unearths prompt him to leave his trusted teacher and the familiar streets of his hometown. This thrilling and heartwarming adventure story features a brilliant cast and crew. The Fall Play is Rated PG-13.

Content Warning:

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time contains strong language, simulated stage violence, and flashing lights and sound. If these are over stimulating or challenging for you, we encourage you to use resources that you have learned about to keep yourself calm and present–including stepping out if you need to–or to reach out to a trusted adult after the performance for support. Please do not hesitate to prioritize your well-being and practice good self-care.
