The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

27 April – 1 May 2027

Donald Gordon Theatre

The century's most popular murder mystery.

The internationally celebrated novel that captivated 10 million readers and inspired a groundbreaking National Theatre production returns in a brand-new staging more thrilling than ever. 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.

"An incredible rollercoaster of a tale"

The Guardian

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.
