The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, adapted from Mark Haddon’s multi-million-selling novel, will begin touring UK theatres next September.
Written by Simon Stephens and directed by Ned Bennett, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time will open at the Birmingham Rep in early September and run until 19th September.
The production will then visit venues including Brighton Theatre Royal, Milton Keynes Theatre and York’s Grand Opera House. Further dates are expected to be announced.
Playwright Simon Stephens said: “The journey of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has been an extraordinary adventure. It has taken me all over the world. From church halls to enormous auditoria. From school drama clubs to Wembley Way.
“I am thrilled that Christopher Boone is about to head out again through the United Kingdom. He is a boy defined by his determination and his bravery. This feels like a time when those characteristics are more urgently needed than ever. Ned Bennett is a brilliant director. I have wanted to work with him for years. I couldn’t have been happier that it is Ned who will reimagine my play for the 2020s.”

About the show
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.
