When fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone discovers a neighbour’s dog has been killed, his search for the culprit takes him far beyond his street and deep into a world he experiences with extraordinary logic, honesty, and detail. Winner of the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time brings Mark Haddon’s international best-seller to thrilling life on stage.
Directed by Harry Lynch Bowers, Butter Side Up’s production offers an authentic and meaningful interpretation that shines a light on autism and neurodiversity. With many of the cast and crew being neurodiverse themselves, the company feels a genuine connection to Christopher’s journey, a story about trust, family, and finding your place in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
Founded in Sheffield in 2016, Butter Side Up Theatre Company is dedicated to creating a space where all voices shine. Their mission is to unite diverse individuals, create original and impactful theatre, and champion underrepresented stories through work that is courageous, joyful, creative, and inclusive.
