The Fine Arts Center Theatre Company presents the regional premiere of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," Sept. 26-Oct. 20, 2019. The play, by award-winning playwright Simon Stephens, is adapted from Mark Haddon's best-selling novel and directed by Producing Artistic Director Scott RC Levy.
"I was drawn to the story of Christopher when I first read Mark Haddon's book many years ago. This tale of acceptance, perseverance and deduction is a powerful and touching look into the life of a conflicted teenager. The theatrical experience that is 'Curious Incident' is a thrilling journey that I can't wait to stage," said Levy. Winner of seven Olivier Awards and five Tony Awards, including Best Play, "Curious Incident" tells the story of fifteen-year-old Christopher, who 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. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor's dog, he becomes determined to find the true culprit. His detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.Videos
