爆料黑社 Professional Theatre presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time听by Simon Stephens
Christopher is a 15-year-old with a remarkable intellect and a deep passion for
mathematics. One night, just after midnight, he is found standing beside the body of
Wellington, his neighbour Mrs. Shears鈥� dog, who has been brutally killed with a garden fork.
With suspicion quickly falling on him, Christopher decides to uncover the truth and begins
documenting everything in a book he is writing about the investigation. Christopher
struggles to understand the subtleties of everyday human interaction. He finds physical
contact unbearable, is wary of strangers, and has never gone beyond the end of his street
on his own. Despite these challenges, and against his father鈥檚 explicit wishes,
Christopher鈥檚 determination to solve the mystery propels him on a courageous and
unsettling journey that shatters everything he thought he knew about his world.

Set pieces fall, doors get stuck, actors say their lines too early, and technical difficulties abound, escalating in complete chaos.
