More About This show

The Story
15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics 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. Now it is 7 minutes after midnight, and Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.
 
Content warning
This production contains occasional very strong & coarse language appropriate to the honest and realistic portrayal of the story and characters. There is discussion and representation of violence, divorce, adultery, abuse, death of an animal, and abandonment. A copy of the script can be made available to students and their adults to review prior to auditioning. We strongly recommend this production for students ages 16 and older, but the director will consider younger actors with discussion and approval.
