The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time

Oundle School Pupils Present The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time

Simon Stephens’ adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling, award-winning novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time offers a richly theatrical exploration of this touching and bleakly humorous tale.

15-year-old Christopher stands beside his neighbour Mrs. Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes past midnight, and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington the dog.

Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths, but he is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. But Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down.
