The John Cooper School Fine Arts Department is proud to present The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. This production was slated to take place on April 17th, but due to the current school closures students were not able to perform live. Instead, special permission by the author was given to perform the show for a virtual audience.
15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but 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. Now it is 7 minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.
NOTE: some mature content in the production recommended for viewers 13 and up.
