Garrick Production The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Date range Tickets £10.50 - £16.50 Age guidance 12+ Venue Main House Trigger warning Find out more Book now Running time TBC Group bookings Find out more Accessibility Find out more Written by Mark Haddon Adapted by Simon Stephens Directed by Joseph Meighan Christopher, fifteen years old, stands beside Mrs Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight, and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths, but he is 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 Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down. Simon Stephens’ adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling, award-winning novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time offers a richly theatrical exploration of this touching and bleakly humorous tale. This production is performed by THE GARRICK ENSEMBLE. The Garrick Ensemble is a company of 18 – 30 year old aspiring actors from Greater Manchester and Cheshire who perform one production each year as part of the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse Main House Season. The production will be directed by Artistic Director Joseph Meighan. The Garrick Ensemble aims to make theatre that is fresh, innovative and exciting. See the very best of local, up and coming talent before they move forward in the next stages of their careers in the Arts.

A powerful, moving, thrilling and compelling fable about friendship, compromise and the high price of success. An inventive, cult-classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated, personal and beautiful songs including “Good Thing Going”, “Not A Day Goes By” and “Our Time”. This unmissable Musical Comedy is a spirited and cautionary tale for anyone who has ever pursued a dream.
