Based on the novel by Mark Haddon Adapted by Simon Stephens

The National Theatre's Olivier and Tony Award® -winning production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time returns to London this November for seven weeks only at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre. 

Director Marianne Elliott's ‘extraordinary and unmissable’ (Time) smash hit production brings Mark Haddon's best-selling novel to thrilling life on stage.

Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain. He is exceptional at maths, while everyday life presents some barriers. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbour’s dog, it takes him on a journey that upturns his world.

Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre is located in one of London's most exciting sport and entertainment destinations, in the heart of Wembley Park.
