✨ ABOUT THE SHOW
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, pulled 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 much closer to home, forcing Christopher to confront truths that will test his courage, his family, and his understanding of trust, independence and the wider world.
Inventive, gripping and deeply moving, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time blends the intrigue of a whodunnit with a powerful coming-of-age story to create an unforgettable theatrical experience.
🎟 TICKET PRICES: FROM £17.50
