Based on the best-selling, modern classic novel for children and adults by Mark Haddon, teenager Christopher excels at math but struggles to interpret the nuances of everyday life.
Late at night, he discovers his neighbour’s dog, Wellington, stabbed to death with a garden fork. Determined to solve the mystery of who murdered the pet, Christopher embarks on an epic adventure where his world as he knows it will never be the same.
A poignant and funny story of family, adolescence, discovering potential and embracing limitations, this highly acclaimed theatrical play won the 2013 Olivier Award and 2015 Tony Award for Best Play.
