A Tony Award-Winning Theatrical Experience

Riccarton Players proudly presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a powerful and visually stunning adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling novel. Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play, this production is a must-see for theatre lovers.

When 15-year-old Christopher Boone, a gifted yet socially challenged boy, discovers his neighbor’s dog has been mysteriously killed, his determination to solve the case sets him on an extraordinary journey. What begins as a quest for answers soon unravels hidden truths that challenge his understanding of family, trust, and the world around him.

“A play that works on every level — crowd-pleasing, eye-opening, life-affirming, and unmissable.” — Time Magazine​

​

A Production with Heart

Directed by Caitlyn O’Rourke, assisted by Luke Longworth, this production brings Christopher’s world to life with creativity and compassion. At its core, the play explores neurodivergence, resilience, and human connection, making it an experience that is both deeply moving and thought-provoking.

 “We’re not that different, me and you.”​
