The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

A bold yet heart-warming retelling of a quirky little story.

This top view image shows a world map made of shaded orange dots. Two hand-drawn train rails lie diagonally across the map. A kid with black hair, wearing a purple top and grey pants, sits on the map, arms outstretched in a hugging gesture toward a black dog walking toward him.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" is an adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon. This award-winning play, known for its accolades including Olivier and Tony Awards, may already be familiar to you. However, this is one you won't want to miss – it's produced by Chinese students at UniMelb!

Performed in Mandarin with English subtitles, this version brings a fresh perspective to the story, reflecting our unique understanding of this curious incident, family, and self-identity, which has evolved since the novel was first published.

We invite you to join us in experiencing this story through the eyes of our 15-year-old protagonist, jumping through the chapters of their life and witnessing their growth.
