Come join Christopher on his revelatory journey. And when you arrive at the destination, you will be changed.

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. He is exceptional at maths, while everyday life presents some barriers. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road; he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbors dog, it takes him on a journey that upturns his world.

Parental Advisory:

There is some strong language in this production. This occurs at specific
points by one character in a heightened state of emotion. There is also some
rude language used more for comic effect.

The production contains references to and/or staging of: violent behavior,
meltdowns and distress caused by sensory overload. It also depicts some
negative attitudes towards people who are neuroatypical.
