Christopher is a Scientific and Mathematical genius — not yet 16 he may be gifted with numbers, scientific concepts, and able to describe mysteries of the universe, but communication with neurotypical people remains elusive. His communication is logical to him, but confusing to the majority.  

Finding a neighbour’s dog dead on the lawn he is determined to find the killer, and writes the story of this adventure. In the process, further mysteries come to light.

This is a dynamic and fast-paced play about understanding difference, and is a truly original piece of theatre involving 10 actors creating imaginative scenes.
