The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


July 17, 2017

The acclaimed National Theatre production of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME is “the most inventive new show on Broadway” (New York Post). Tony Award® winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse) directs this “dazzling” (Associated Press) adaptation by two-time Olivier Award winner Simon Stephens that brings Mark Haddon’s internationally best-selling novel to “extraordinary” life (TIME Magazine).

Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor’s dog, he sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever. [Christopher is generally considered to be on the autism spectrum. Funny how the theater avoids using the term autism. Note: "This production features thrilling effects including moments of loud pulsing music, bright lighting and strobe effects." It does not seem to be designed to be accessible for many on the autism spectrum. Ed-Anthony]

Called “one of the most fully immersive shows ever to wallop Broadway” by The New York TimesTHE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME is a record-breaking theatrical phenomenon that simply must not be missed.
