The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Advertisement
When fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone discovers a neighbour’s dog has been killed, his search for the culprit takes him on a journey far beyond his street. Christopher sees the world in ways that are wonderfully precise, logical, and sometimes challenging for those around him. These qualities make him an extraordinary detective, but also bring obstacles he must navigate at home, at school, and in the wider world.
Winner of the Olivier Award and Tony Award® for Best Play, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time brings Mark Haddon’s international best-selling novel to thrilling life on stage. This moving, funny, and unforgettable story explores trust, family, courage, and finding your place in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
Directed by Harry Lynch Bowers, this is an authentic and meaningful telling of a story that shines a light on autism and neurodiversity. With many of our cast and crew being neurodiverse themselves, we feel deeply connected to Christopher’s journey and are proud to share a production that celebrates difference while inviting audiences to see through another’s eyes.
Book early to avoid disappointment. This promises to be a wonderful, unmissable show!
