The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Burbage Theatre Co continues its 13th season with the Rhode Island premiere of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”, the Tony Award-winning play by Simon Stephens, based on Mark Haddon’s bestselling novel. Directed by Karen Carpenter, this production brings to life a thrilling and deeply moving story of perception, family, and the power of human connection.

Fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone has an extraordinary mind. He excels in mathematics but struggles to understand social cues and everyday interactions. When he discovers his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, dead with a garden fork in its side, Christopher embarks on a journey to solve the mystery. His investigation leads him far beyond his quiet suburban world, forcing him to navigate a world that often feels overwhelming. As he pieces together the truth, Christopher’s journey upends his life in ways he never imagined.

This production transforms Burbage’s intimate Wendy Overly Studio Theatre into Christopher’s world, using inventive movement, striking design, and dynamic storytelling to bring his unique perspective to life. With a stellar ensemble and an innovative creative team, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” is a theatrical experience unlike any other—heartwarming, visually stunning, and profoundly resonant.
