The full cast has been announced for a brand-new tour of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time including Alex Keenan and Imi Price as Chris Boone, the first women to play the role. TV stars Charlie Brooks and Joe McFadden will also star.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is set to head out on a new UK tour, from September of this year. The tour marks the return of one of the most successful and acclaimed plays of the 21st Century, based on Mark Haddon’s novel and adapted by Simon Stephens.
Inventive and gripping, the play combines the intrigue of a whodunnit with a powerful coming-of-age story as it follows Chris Boone, a gifted mathematical thinker who struggles with the unpredictability of everyday life. When a neighbour’s dog is killed and all eyes turn to Chris, they set out to solve the mystery and confront difficult truths about trust, independence, and their place in the wider world.
