⭐ THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME – NEW UK TOUR ANNOUNCED ⭐
A new UK tour of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME has been announced.
Melting Pot and the Birmingham Rep will co-produce a brand-new staging of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, based on the internationally celebrated novel that captivated 10 million readers and inspired a groundbreaking National Theatre production.
Opening in Birmingham next September before embarking on a major UK tour, THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME is adapted from Mark Haddon’s multi-million-selling novel by acclaimed Playwright Simon Stephens and will be directed by Ned Bennett.
Christopher Boone is gifted with a brilliant mind for numbers, but unsettled by the unpredictability of people and everyday life. When a neighbour’s dog is discovered killed, he finds himself under suspicion. Determined to prove his innocence, Christopher becomes both detective and suspect, drawn into a mystery that grows darker and more complex with every clue he uncovers. What begins as the search for a culprit soon reveals secrets closer to home, forcing him to confront truths that will test his courage, his family, and his understanding of trust, independence, and the wider world.
Inventive, gripping, and moving, THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME combines the intrigue of a whodunnit with a powerful coming-of-age story in an unforgettable theatrical event.
THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME premiered at the National Theatre in 2012 and immediately received widespread acclaim for its groundbreaking theatrical design, emotional storytelling and sensitive depiction of neurodiversity. It remains one of the most successful and acclaimed British plays of the 21st century and has been seen globally by over 5 million people.
THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME won seven Olivier Awards in 2013 (equalling the then record, set by the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Matilda), including Best New Play for Stephen’s stage adaptation, Best Director for Marianne Elliott and Best Actor for its star, Luke Treadaway.
The play debuted on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 2014 and scooped five Tony Awards in 2015, including Best Play, Best Direction of a Play and Best Actor. Numerous tours and international productions have followed, including in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
