The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time on tour
Since premiering at the National Theatre in 2012, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has become a landmark of modern theatre, praised for its innovative design, emotional storytelling, and sensitive depiction of neurodiversity. Seen by over five million people worldwide, it remains one of the most acclaimed British plays of all time.
This fresh new staging, adapted by Simon Stephens and directed by Ned Bennett, reimagines one of the most groundbreaking British plays of the 21st century — winner of seven Olivier Awards and five Tony Awards, including Best Play.
The cast is led by EastEnders favourite Charlie Brooks, best known for her long-running role as Janine Butcher, and Joe McFadden, known for the BBC’s The Crow Road and Holby City. The pair will play Ed and Judy Boone.
The central role of Chris Boone will be played by female leads for the first time in its production history. Alex Keenan and Imi Price will alternate the role for the tour.
Opening at Birmingham Rep in September 2026 before touring the UK, this inventive and emotionally rich production promises to be more thrilling than ever.
Inventive, gripping, and deeply 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.
