The multi-award-winning production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, returns to Milton Keynes Theatre from Monday (September 4) for a two week stay as part of its second major UK tour.
Playing the central role of Christopher Boone is Scott Reid (recently appearing in BBC1’s comedy Still Game), with Lucianne McEvoy as his teacher Siobhan, Emma Beattie as Judy, David Michaels as his father Ed, Debra Michaels as Mrs Alexander and Eliza Collings as Mrs Shears.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is adapted from Mark Haddon’s best-selling book.
The show tells the story of Christopher Boone, who is fifteen years old. He stands beside Mrs Shears’ dead dog, which has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion.
He records each fact in a book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain, and is exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.
He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and distrusts strangers. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time received seven Olivier Awards in 2013, including Best New Play, Best Director, Best Design, Best Lighting Design and Best Sound Design and five Tony Awards on Broadway including Best Play.
If you missed it last time around, you really need to put that to rights with a trip to see the inventive, modern, beautiful piece.
