The brilliant, shy, and extraordinarily introverted Christopher Boone—a 15-year-old living in a small English town—decides that he must investigate the murder of his neighbor’s poodle, Wellington. His mission draws him on an expedition across England, all the way to bustling London. Discovering the wonders of the outside world ultimately helps him learn new and wonderful things about himself. Watch it all unfold in Charleston Stage’s performance of the Tony and Olivier Award-winning play based on Mark Haddon’s novel of the same name. Dock Street Theatre, 135 Church St. Days & times vary. $66.75-$33.75. (843) 577-5967, www.charlestonstage.com
