an award winning play of mystery now playing through Dec. 24 at Portland
Center Stage at The Armory, downtown.
A Best Play Mystery
The Curious Incident of the Dog in
the Night-Time is a spectacular, atyp-
ical mystery now playing through
Dec. 24 at Portland Center Stage at
the Armory, downtown.
Based on the novel by Mark Had-
don, adapted by Simon Stephens and
directed by Marissa Wolf, the play
was the winner of five Tony Awards
when it was performed on Broadway.
This play takes you inside the mind
of Christopher, an exceptionally in-
telligent, neuro-divergent 15-year-old
boy. Now, it is seven minutes after
midnight and Christopher is under
suspicion of killing his neighbor’s
dog, Wellington. Determined to find
the true culprit, Christopher carefully
records each fact of the crime. Ulti-
mately, his detective work takes him
on a deeply personal quest that turns
his world.
A special sensory-friendly perfor-
mance of the show will take place on
Dec. 21th at 7:30 p.m., designed to
be enjoyed by all and include some
changes for those who are neuro-di-
vergent or have other sensory issues.
