The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

​

Let us spike your curiosity with our next spring play. Just like our lead character, Christopher, we are stepping out of our comfort zone and exploring new things, as we are planning an immersive, technical, and visionary piece of drama. We are very passionate about making theatre accessible to all and giving invisible communities the chance to be seen and heard.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time focuses around a 15 year old boy, Christopher, who has found his next-door neighbour’s dog killed by a garden fork and is determined to find out who killed him, even if it means going against his father’s wishes.

In this adaption of Mark Haddon’s novel, Simon Stephens takes us on a richly theatrical exploration and bleakly humorous story, finding out just as much, if not more, about Christopher’s life on his journey as he finds out about who killed the dog.
