Based on the novel by Mark Haddon and adapted by Simon Stephens, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” tells the story of Christopher — a mentally challenged, but brilliant 15-year-old boy — with a mystery to solve. Someone has killed the next-door neighbor’s dog, and he is a suspect. Though he has never ventured alone beyond the end of his street, Christopher’s detective work ends up taking him on a frightening journey that tears apart his once familiar world. The SMC production is directed by Dr. Adrianne Harrop.
