Based on the International
Best-Selling Novel by Mark Haddon
Adapted for the Stage by Simon Stephens

Mark Haddon's celebrated, multi-award-winning novel is beautifully and imaginatively adapted into a stage play for the first time.

Christopher, fifteen years old, stands beside Mrs. Shears' dead dog, Wellington. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in his book to solve the mystery. He has an extraordinary brain, exceptional at math but ill-equipped 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.

Mark Haddon's novel has sold over 2 million copies around the world. Marianne Elliott co-directed the globally successful stage production of War Horse for the National, for which she won a Tony Award in 2011. Simon Stephens, twice named Best Foreign Playwright of the Year, is the author of many original plays and adaptations, including Harper Regan and On the Shore of the Wide World, both directed by Marianne Elliott at the National Theatre.

★★★★★
"The violent clarity of Haddon's prose finds natural expression in Treadway's physicality, offset by the soft metaphors and kindness of Cusack's Siobhan!"
- The Arts Desk

★★★★
"A curiously successful case of a hit novel turned into a play"
- The Independent
