Following its smash-hit live broadcast in 2012, the National Theatre production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time returns to cinemas.

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 seven Olivier Awards in 2013, including Best New Play.

Christopher, 15 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 original cast, as seen in this encore screening, featured Luke Treadaway as Christopher, Una Stubbs, Nicola Walker, Paul Ritter and Niamh Cusack.

Groups of six can get tickets for £10 each. Call the box office on 01733 207239, or book over the counter to take advantage of this special offer.
NB – this is an encore screening from the National Theatre.
