Directed by Hannah Goodwin
Christopher, fifteen years old, is an extraordinary thinker. He’s exceptional at maths and observes things nobody else sees. Everyday life is a little trickier – he has never ventured alone beyond the end of the street, he detests being touched, and he’s wary of strangers.
Now he’s in the front yard, it’s seven minutes to midnight, and Mrs Shears’ dog is lying dead at his feet, a garden fork in the neck. He’s going to be the chief suspect, isn’t he? So who can solve the mystery? Nobody but Christopher, and what he uncovers takes him on a journey that even he couldn’t have predicted.
This is simply an excellent piece of theatre – part detective story, part family drama, part adventure. It’s funny and captivating, with a few surprises along the way. One of the great joys of Belvoir is finding fabulous theatrical solutions to the demands of a story – so it’s as if Simon Stephens wrote this adventurous adaptation specially for Belvoir St. – Eamon
