The boy discovers that the neighbour’s dog had been killed. The unfortunate creature had been speared by a garden fork. Christopher applies his icy logic to solve the murder.
The boy’s investigations reveal more than what he expected. He had been told that his mother was no more. Christopher finds that she was still alive and was having an affair with the neighbour.
The charge sheet against S Iswaran was a revelation. It was not because of the accusation of impropriety. The former minister seems to enjoy theatre. He watched The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in 2015.
This play is based on a book by the same name by Mark Haddock. The book features a 15-year-old boy called Christopher. Christopher is a mathematical genius with unusual challenges. He has trouble making conversation. He takes everything literally and cannot tell lies.
