The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

And finally, a play based on a book which was a personal favourite of mine - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. The story follows an exceptional neuro-divergent boy who, after being wrongfully accused of killing his neighbour’s dog, sets out to investigate what really happened, only to discover something much deeper about his own life.
