The National Theatre’s smash hit production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time returns to Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre from January 25 to 29.
When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbour’s dog, 15-year-old Christopher embarks on a journey that upturns his world. He has an extraordinary brain. He is exceptional at maths, and while everyday life presents some barriers… he distrusts strangers and being touched and has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road.
