Book Tickets for The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time Play – A Staggering Blend of Great Storytelling and Fantastic Acting

The stellar cast and creative team behind The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time do a stunningly good job at combining state-of-the-art acting with riveting storytelling. The play starts with the image of the dead dog of Mrs Shears, Wellington, who was murdered using a garden fork. After he is placed under suspicion, Christopher, the 15-year-old neighbour of Mrs Sheras, takes it upon himself to solve the mystery and find out who killed the innocent animal. Suffering from autism, the boy has a brilliant mind but is not able to cope with normal life, as he is very reluctant about talking to strangers and hates being touched by other people. Although his father strictly forbids him to investigate the murder, the boy gets entangled in a series of events that turn his life completely upside down.
