This schools' edition of Mark Haddon's multi-award-winning novel
adapted for the stage of the National Theatre by Simon Stephens is
perfect for Key Stages 3 and 4. Featuring the play script from the
Modern Plays edition but with the language adjusted for school
use*, this edition includes a wealth of classroom activities for
the English and drama classrooms. Christopher, fifteen years old,
stands beside Mrs Shears's dead dog. It has been speared with a
garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight, and Christopher is
under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to
solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an
extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths, but he is
ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured
alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he
distrusts strangers. But Christopher's detective work, forbidden by
his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world
upside-down. This educational edition in Methuen Drama's Critical
Scripts series has been prepared by national Drama in Secondary
English experts Ruth Moore and Paul Bunyan. Building on a decade of
highly effective work and publications endorsed by national
organisations and supported by teachers and consultants across
Britain, each book in the series: > meets the requirements at
KS3 and GCSE > features detailed, structured schemes of work
utilising drama approaches to improve literary and language
analysis > places pupils' understanding of the learning process
at the heart of the activities > will help pupils to boost
English GCSE success and develop high-level skills at KS3 > will
save teachers considerable time devising their own resources. Simon
Stephens's adaptation of Mark Haddon's bestselling, award-winning
novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time offers a
richly theatrical exploration of this touching and bleakly humorous
tale. * The instances of stronger language have been tempered in
this edition specifically for school use. Teachers may still wish
to satisfy themselves that it is suited to the age of their pupils.
