A special encore presentation of the National Theatre of London’s production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time” will be screened on Saturday, June 23, at 1:00 P.M. at Highlands Performing Arts Center.
The production is based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon and adapted by Simon Stephens. Captured live from the National Theatre in London, this critically- acclaimed production is directed by Marianne Elliot (“Angels in America,” “War Horse”) and has astonished audiences around the world and has received seven Olivier and five Tony Awards.
Christopher, 15 years old, stands beside Mrs Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at math, while illequipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
Tickets are available online at highlandspac. org, at the door, or by calling (828) 526-9047. Highlands Performing Arts Center is located at 507 Chestnut Street.
