The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at Bridewell Theatre, London
About the show
Adapted by: Simon Stephens
Based on the novel by: Mark Haddon
Directed by: Alice Bennett
Presented by: Sedos
“My name is Christopher John Francis Boone… I know all the countries of the world and the capital cities. And every prime number up to 7,507.”
The neighbours’ dog is found dead, speared with a garden fork. Fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone is determined to find out what happened through logical detective work. But Christopher’s investigation uncovers more than he bargains for and starts him on an unpredictable journey outside his carefully ordered world.
“The novel gets you inside Christopher's head, but the stage version does more, giving Christopher's internal response to the world an external manifestation. That world is often a surreal and scary place, but oddly beautiful and bizarre, too: I'll never look at a Battenberg cake in the same way again.”

Director Alice Bennett commented: "As an autistic person, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has always felt personal to me. The show is sharp, moving, and unlike any other play you’ll see on stage. We want this production to be dynamic and bring the audience into Christopher’s world through sound, lighting and movement. I’m so excited to be a part of bringing it to the Sedos stage!"
Date/Time: 14 - 17 July @ 7.30pm. 18 July @ 1pm and 6pm
