About the show
The internationally celebrated novel that captivated 10 million readers and inspired a groundbreaking National Theatre production returns in a brand-new staging more thrilling than ever.
The century’s most popular murder mystery.
Christopher Boone is gifted with a brilliant mind for numbers but unsettled by the unpredictability of people and everyday life. When a neighbour’s dog is discovered killed, he finds himself under suspicion. Determined to prove his innocence, Christopher becomes both detective and suspect, drawn into a mystery that grows darker and more complex with every clue he uncovers.
What begins as the search for a culprit soon reveals secrets closer to home, forcing him to confront truths that will test his courage, his family, and his understanding of trust, independence, and the wider world.
Inventive, gripping, and moving, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time combines the intrigue of a whodunnit with a powerful coming-of-age story in an unforgettable theatrical event.
Featuring
The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time
Christopher, fifteen years old, has an extraordinary brain – exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion of killing Mrs Shears' dog Wellington, he records each fact about the event in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of the murder. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world. Based on the award-winning novel by Mark Haddon, adapted by Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliott, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time is a thrilling new stage play from the National Theatre, hailed by The Times as 'a phenomenal combination of storytelling and spectacle'. 'One of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broadway. Be prepared to have all your emotional and sensory buttons pushed, including a few you may not have known existed' (New York Times) 'The most inventive show on Broadway' (New York Post) 'Curious Incident is dazzling, pulse-pounding and remarkable' (Time Out New York) 'A beautiful, eloquent, dazzlingly inventive show about the wonders of life' (Evening Standard) 'A theatrical rush equal to anything on the west end stage!' (The Times).
