Presented by The Kean Theatre Conservatory
A play by Simon Stephens
Based on the novel by Mark Haddon
Directed by Holly Logue
In Simon Stephens’ Tony award-winning play, based on Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, we meet 15-year-old Christopher, who has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor’s dog, he sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever.
