THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
A play by Simon Stephens
Based on the novel by Mark Haddon
15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but 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. Now it is 7 minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor's dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.
Come and see the incredibly talented actors, technicians, filmmakers and animators of St. John Bosco and Saint Joseph High School tell this amazing story in the St. John Bosco Theater.
