Wick Theatre Company Presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Fifteen year old Christopher embarks on an investigation... It is seven minutes after midnight, Christopher has discovered Mrs Shears dog with its eyes closed lying on the grass. It looks like its running on its side, but its not. The dog is dead. Here begins the mystery. This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are also no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. Christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. He sees the world in details, in patterns and numbers. When Christopher decides to find out who killed the neighbour's dog, his mystery story becomes more complicated than he could have ever predicted. Mark Haddon's best-selling novel has been turned into a moving play which won the Olivier Award in 2013 and has been performed world-wide: this is a powerful and visually stunning story of bravery and tenacity that is full of surprises.
