The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-TimeT0314853604
Christopher, fifteen years old, stands beside Mrs Shears' dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. I made a decision. I did this by thinking of all the things I could do and deciding whether they were the right decision or not. He has an extraordinary brain, 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 he distrusts strangers. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world. My name is Christopher John Francis Boone. I know all the countries of the world and the capital cities. And every prime number up to 7507.
Book by Mark Haddon

jim (28Oct15):

Brilliant play on a fabulous set with a magic cast ... don't agree with all directorial decisions (charicature of headmistress for instance) but a fabulous evening
