The first production photographs from the touring The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time have been released, and five more venues have joined the 2027 leg of the tour.
Melting Pot and Birmingham Rep have released production photography and an EPK for their touring production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, shot by Johan Persson. The release comes with an extension to the 2027 dates, which add five more venues to a tour that already runs into the summer.
The new bookings are:
- 8-12 June 2027: New Theatre, Peterborough
- June 2027: Theatre Royal, Plymouth
- 22-26 June 2027: Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton
- 29 June - 3 July 2027: Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury
- 6-10 July 2027: Theatr Clwyd, Mold
Alex Keenan and Imi Price share Chris Boone, the first women to take the part. The production keeps the story as it was written and lets a different reading of the character come with the casting.
Charlie Brooks plays Judy and Joe McFadden plays Ed, Chris’s parents. Brooks is known for Janine Butcher in EastEnders, and her theatre credits include The Ocean at the End of the Lane at the National Theatre and on tour; McFadden’s screen work takes in The Crow Road, Holby City and Heartbeat, and he won Strictly Come Dancing in 2017. The rest of the company, announced earlier this year, is Bridgette Amofah as Siobhan, Alex Murdoch, Matthew Bulgo, Jerone Marsh Reid, Carla Garratt, Tom Clegg, Robert Penny and Sera Mustafa, all of whom also play ensemble.
Simon Stephens’s adaptation of Mark Haddon’s novel is directed by Ned Bennett, with set and costume design by Eleanor Bull, lighting by Laura Howard, music and sound by Giles Thomas and video by Hayley Egan. Jenni Jackson is movement director, Izzy Pellow costume supervisor, Eve Hall props supervisor and Anastasia Osei-Kuffour associate director, with casting by Abby Galvin.
The production opened at Birmingham Rep on Saturday 5 September and is out until July 2027. The London-area dates are the New Wimbledon Theatre from Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 November 2026, and Richmond Theatre from Tuesday 16 to Saturday 20 February 2027. The play premiered at the National Theatre in 2012 and has since been seen by more than five million people worldwide.
