Adapted from the best-selling book by British author Mark Haddon and making its local debut, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time comes to the Boston Opera House March 7–19. Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Play, the story involves the (dare I say) curious tale of a teenage boy—described as “a mathematician with some behavioral difficulties”—who investigates the killing of his neighbor’s dog, leading to many startling discoveries and adventures for the previously sheltered and mildly autistic main character. Re-worked from the source material to create a play-within-a-play and boasting eye-popping effects that reflect the turmoil in the protagonists’s head, the acclaimed production takes audiences on an unexpected journey that is sure to delight lovers of both mysteries and family dramas.
