About National Theatre Live: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Christopher, fifteen years old, has an extraordinary brain – exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion of killing Mrs Shears' dog Wellington, he records each fact about the event in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of the murder. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
Directed by Nick Wickham, Marianne Elliott, National Theatre Live: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time leans on a strong ensemble — Luke Treadaway, Niamh Cusack, Paul Ritter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
