Directed, produced, and performed by the VCE Theatre Studies class of 2025 as part of their curriculum, ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ is a play based on Mark Haddon's novel, adapted by Simon Stephens. It follows Christopher Boone, a neurodivergent 15-year-old boy with an extraordinary mathematical mind. When he discovers his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, has been mysteriously killed, Christopher embarks on a detective mission to uncover the culprit. His investigation leads him to unexpected revelations about his family, forcing him to navigate a chaotic world that overwhelms him. As he journeys from his home in Swindon to London, Christopher faces fears, discovers hidden truths, and proves his independence in ways he never imagined. The play, told from Christopher’s unique perspective and narrated by his teacher, Siobhan, uses innovative staging, lighting, and movement to immerse the audience in his experience. It is a powerful exploration of truth, trust, and resilience, offering a deeply moving and visually stunning theatrical experience.
