Based on the award-winning novel
Based on Mark Haddon's best-selling novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is an award-winning play showing at the Piccadilly Theatre in London's West End.
The play's main character, Christopher, is a fifteen year old boy with an extraordinary brain. Christopher is exceptional at maths but struggles to interpret everyday life - not made easier when he is under suspicion of killing Wellington, Mrs Shears' dog. Christopher resolves to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, despite the fact he has never before ventured alone beyond the end of his road, detests being touched and distrusts strangers. Christopher's investigations will take him on a frightening, fascinating journey that will turn his world upside down.
