The plot
Brandon Michael Mayes (left) makes his Atlanta debut as autistic teenager Christopher Boone in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Candy McLellan plays his empathetic teacher.
Tenacious and intelligent, Christopher is an autistic teenager who’s better at solving equations than navigating a world that’s stubbornly out of sync with how his mind works.
After a neighbor’s dog turns up dead, Christopher resolves to find the killer. As his investigation unfolds, he dares to strike out on his own. With a white rat named Toby for companionship, he embarks on a thrilling adventure that turns his whole world upside-down.
