Description:

UNCW's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute presents National Theatre Live, the best of British theater brought to the Lumina Theater screen live in HD. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon and adapted for the stage by Simon Stephens, tells the extraordinary story of 15-year-old Christopher, who discovers Mrs. Shears’ dead dog, Wellington, speared with a garden fork. But Christopher, who is autistic, is suspected of doing the dirty deed. He begins to record facts in a book to solve the mystery. Exceptional at math and analyses, he is nevertheless 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 takes him on a frightening journey that changes his world.

"Seeing an adaptation of a book that you have loved can inspire a certain nervousness but fans of A Curious Incident should have no such worry when going to see this faithful and imaginative adaptation. It is a triumph, capturing the depth and touching nature of the original text and adding theatrical sensibilities to great effect. Highly recommended." -- Londonist
