The Level 3 Acting for Stage and Screen students were proud to perform the iconic play, ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, for a three-day run in Stockton Riverside College’s Margaret Armstrong Theatre.
The story follows Christopher Boone, an exceptionally gifted 15-year-old with autism. When he discovers his neighbour’s dog murdered with a pitchfork, Christopher sets out to solve the crime. His investigation uncovers buried family secrets, triggering a brave and overwhelming journey to London.
