Christopher Boone (aged 15 years, 3 months and 2 days) is on a mission...a dog has been murdered and he is determined “to find out who killed Wellington”.
But this is no ordinary murder mystery... our neurodivergent protagonist, a mathematical genius, is about to embark on an exciting adventure, a brave journey of self-discovery, in a world of confusion, surprises and revelations.
The 9-strong cast perform as an ensemble, interacting with Christopher as key people in his life but also representing his thoughts and his interpretations of everyday life.
Director Karen Blunden says “I am hoping that as well as being thoroughly entertained, with some tears and plenty of laughter along the way, our audience will leave the theatre with a better understanding and a raised awareness of how we interact with others we deem ‘different’. We want the message to be one of being kind, more patient, more helpful and always remaining ‘curious’."
