The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

From Wednesday 14th to Saturday 17th May, The Knaresborough Players bring Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" to thrilling life on stage.

Adapted from Mark Haddon's novel by Simon Stephens, this play has only recently become available for amateur groups to perform and we are excited to be one of the first groups in the country to be able to perform this show.

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.

He has an extraordinary brain. He is exceptional at maths, while everyday life presents some barriers. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbour’s dog, it takes him on a journey that upturns his world.

Directed by Beth Martin.

There are performances at 7.30pm on 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th May plus a matinee performance on 17th May at 2pm.

Tickets are £10 (£8 over 60/under 16/carers).
