the utah premiere of the Tony-winning hit play!
Pioneer Theatre Company have scored a home run with their 2017/18 announcement, which sees them stage the Tony Award-winning drama in Salt Lake City for the very first time! Based on Mark Haddon's best-selling novel set in England, follow the story of Christopher, a teenage math genius with Asperger's syndrome, for whom the untimely death of his neighbor's dog begins an inventive and beautifully staged journey that takes the audience into his unique world, in a deeply-felt performance that translates his isolated perspective of the world, and the wonders of life.
Originated by London's National Theatre, this American transfer rewrote the dramatic rulebook with its stunning, wildly imaginative imaginative adaptation of Haddon's 2003 novel. After breaking records in London's West End, the Simon Stephens' production of Curious Incident won an unheard-of-before seven Olivier Awards, becoming the first play to do so. It repeated its success on Broadway, picking up an impressive five Tony Awards, including Best Play and Best Performance by a Leading Actor for its star, Alex Sharp.
