"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" is the name of the latest production by the English-language theatre group DUET at the UDE. The adaptation of Mark Haddon's mystery novel will be performed on the Duisburg campus from 4 to 7 February.

The plot: Christopher, 15, finds the neighbour’s dog has been murdered with a pitchfork. This inspires him to do some detective work. Yet Christopher is not like others, and never will be. But that cannot stop him in his quest for truth, and a change of life will follow for him and his family.

The amateur theatre group DUET consists of students and alumni from all faculties of the UDE. It will perform the play from 4 to 6 February at 7.30 p.m. and on 7 February at 5.30 p.m. in the auditorium of the SG building, Geibelstr. 41 in Duisburg. Tickets can be reserved at duet@uni-due.de.
