The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (90 Minute Version)
by Simon Stephens
Synopsis
15-year-old Christopher stands beside his neighbor Mrs. Shears’ dead dog.
It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight, and Christopher is under suspicion.
He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington the dog.
Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at math, but he is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.
He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers.
But Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down.
This 90-minute edition of Olivier Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens’ stage adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling novel has been adapted for a cast of 10 actors.
The play can also performed in its original version .
