The show tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher Boone, who 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 distrusts strangers. When Christopher falls under suspicion of killing Mrs Shears’ dog, which has been speared with a garden fork, he tries to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, recording each fact in a book. But his detective work takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is directed by Marianne Elliott, who co-directed the National Theatre’s record-breaking production of War Horse. The central role of Christopher is played by Scott Reid, whose television credits include Still Game and Line of Duty, and stage work includes many productions with Glasgow’s Citizens Theatre. Lucianne McEvoy, who plays Christopher’s teacher, Siobhan, has previously toured to Bath in Hinterland with the National Theatre and Out of Joint in 2002, and Birmingham Rep’s production of Festen in 2006. Christopher’s father, Ed is played by David Michaels, whose many screen credits include Waterloo Road, Casualty, Spooks, Heartbeat and Coronation Street. His previous performances at Bath’s Theatre Royal include The 39 Steps in 2008 and Rough Justice in 2012.
