Play Synopsis
Based on the bestselling 2003 novel by Mark Haddon, this inventive play follows Christopher Boone, a fifteen-year-old with an extraordinary gift for mathematics and a unique way of seeing the world. When he discovers a neighbour’s dog dead, Christopher sets out to solve the mystery – uncovering secrets about his family along the way.
Haddon’s novel, inspired by his own interest in neurodiversity, blends heart, humour, and suspense, exploring how we all navigate relationships, truth, and trust. The stage adaptation transforms Christopher’s extraordinary perspective into a visually striking, emotionally rich theatrical experience.
We’re looking for actors of all ages and types to bring Christopher’s world to life – from family and neighbours to the quirky, chaotic characters he encounters. Physicality, energy, and the ability to embrace humour and heart are essential.
