A specially staged version of the National Theatre’s award-winning play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time will visit 17 secondary schools in Greater Manchester.

The tour forms part of the National Theatre’s drive to introduce new audiences to theatre and The Lowry’s work to develop local engagement in the arts.

The schools tour is a 90-minute version of the play performed in the round and will be followed by a Q&A session.

Curious Incident brings Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel to life on stage, adapted by two-time Olivier Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens and directed by Olivier and Tony Award winning director Marianne Elliott.
