🎬Directed by Atul Kumar 

💡the ARTS Company production

Part murder mystery. Part emotional rollercoaster. Entirely unforgettable. This is the coming-of-age story of a brilliant 15 year old boy that doesn’t quite fit in with society, and a unique (and often hilarious) journey of self-discovery. 

This play takes everything about being a misfit kid in a complex world and amplifies it. It centres around Christopher, a bright teenager who isn’t quite like other children. In his world, prime numbers are life, metaphors are lies, and life’s nuances are interpreted in a tad-too-literal way that will touch your heart while making you laugh. When his neighbour's dog gets murdered, he is determined to solve the mystery so that things can start making sense again. As he plays detective, the twists lead him back to his own family and what transpires is something that nobody sees coming — least of all Christopher himself. Through his story, we navigate the deeper complexities of life, from family dysfunction to the power of love and resilience in overcoming unexpected challenges.

This is an original production for Aadyam Season 7 and before it made its way to a stage near you, its stage adaptation by Simon Stephens has had critically acclaimed runs on Broadway and the West End. It has also won multiple awards, including the Olivier Award for Best New Play and the Tony Award for Best Play. This version, directed by the renowned Atul Kumar and produced by The Company Theatre, brings Christopher’s story to life with masterful performances and a unique theatrical style that will leave you questioning your own perceptions of reality.
