Description: Christopher stands beside Mrs Shears's 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. Though he has never previously ventured alone beyond the end of his street, Christopher's detective work ends up taking him on a frightening journey that tears apart his once-familiar world. Simon Stephens's adaptation, first produced at London's National Theatre in 2012, of Mark Haddon's award-winning novel offers a richly theatrical exploration of this touching and bleakly humorous story.
