The National Theatre’s multi award-winning production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time will begin a nationwide tour at The Lowry in Salford from December 18 to January 10.
Stockport-born Simon Stephens’s adaptation of Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel won seven Olivier Awards last year and also won the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Theatre and has been seen by more than 200,000 people during its run in the West End.
It is directed by Marianne Elliott, who grew up in Manchester and co-directed the record-breaking production of War Horse which returns to The Lowry for nine weeks this summer, following its record-breaking run over Christmas.
Julia Fawcett OBE, Chief Executive of The Lowry, said: “The opportunity to present a multiple-Olivier award-winning production of this calibre to North West audiences is something of which The Lowry is incredibly proud.
"It is also further proof of the mutual benefit of the longstanding and ever-growing partnership between ourselves and the National.”
