Come and enjoy the best of British Theatre at The Atkinson on Friday 23 May with the National Theatre Live screening of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Following its live broadcast in 2012, the National Theatre production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time returns to the big screen.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon, adapted by Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliott, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has been hailed by The Times as ‘a phenomenal combination of storytelling and spectacle’. Winner of 7 Olivier Awards in 2013, including Best New Play.
Christopher, fifteen years old, has an extraordinary brain – exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion of killing Mrs Shears’ dog Wellington, he records each fact about the event in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of the murder. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time begins at 7pm on Friday 23 May at The Atkinson. Tickets are £10.
We continue the National Theatre Live programme on Thursday 12 June at 7pm with A Small Family Business. A riotous exposure of entrepreneurial greed by Olivier Award-winning playwright Alan Ayckbourn (Bedroom Farce, A Chorus of Disapproval).
A Small Family Business returns to the National Theatre for the first time since its celebrated premiere in 1987, when it won the Evening Standard Award for Best Play.
