Adapted by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon's best-selling novel, and directed by Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher, who is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor's dog, he sets out on a journey to identify the true culprit.
