Mike Wells
PLEASE NOTE THIS PRODUCTION STARTS AT 19.30
It is seven minutes after midnight, Christopher has discovered Mrs Shears dog with its eyes closed lying on the grass. It looks like it’s running on its side, but it’s not. The dog is dead. Here begins the mystery.
This is Christopher’s murder mystery story. There are also no lies in this story because Christopher can’t tell lies. He sees the world in details, in patterns and numbers. When Christopher decides to find out who killed the neighbour’s dog, his story becomes more complicated than he could have ever predicted.
