While the title is a tad confusing, the plot revolves around 15-year old Christopher. He is exceptionally intelligent but socially backward, unable to cope well with everyday life. After being suspected of killing his neighbor’s dog, Christopher sets out to find the true culprit. This journey leads to an “earth-shattering discovery” that will change his life.
The production is designed by Tony Award-winner Bunny Christie and Tony Award-winning video designer Finn Ross, with lighting by Tony Award-winner Paule Constable, choreography by Scott Graham and Olivier Award-winner Steven Hoggett for Frantic Assembly, music by Adrian Sutton, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph, and hair and wig design by David Brian Brown.
