Mark Haddon’s hugely popular tale of an autistic teenager and a canine death, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time receives a stage makeover courtesy of playwright Simon Stephens.

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time is the story of Christopher, a 15 year old boy who becomes a suspect when Mrs Shears’ dog, Wellington, is speared with a garden fork.

Though exceptional at maths, Christopher cannot interpret every day life. He has never passed the end of the road by himself, he hates to be touched and he doesn’t trust strangers. Yet he embarks on a mission to discover the truth about Wellington’s untimely death, recording everything in a notebook. His detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey as he tries to solve The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.

This world premiere of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time is suitable for theatregoers aged 13 and older.
