Simon Stephens’ Olivier and Tony Award-winning adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling novel is a richly theatrical exploration of a touching and bleakly humorous tale.


The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time premiered at the Royal National Theatre on 2 August 2012 under the direction of Marianne Elliott.


On 5 October 2014, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time opened on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, again directed by Elliott.
