The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time

15-year-old Christopher stands beside his neighbour Mrs. Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes past midnight, and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington the dog.

Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths, but he is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. But Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down.

Simon Stephens’ adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling, award-winning novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time offers a richly theatrical exploration of this touching and bleakly humorous tale.

Little Women

Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.

Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit.

Later Life Letter

Luke Wright

Later Life Letter tells the story of Luke Wright’s adoption – the life he leads, and the one he might have done. What’s it like to stumble across your birth mother on Facebook? How do you honour the parents who have raised you while satisfying a curiosity about where you came from? Is it telling that you married a social worker?

Wright navigates his audience through a warm and honest hour of poems and stand-up with the wit, pathos, and silliness that has made him one of the most popular live poets in England.

This is a frank account of what it means to be someone’s child told by a performer who really knows what he’s doing. Expect raucous laughter, tear-stained cheeks, and a little smattering of drum n bass.

“A streetwise panache and a sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee.”

★★★★★ Telegraph

“Honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.”

★★★★★ The Stage

“His poems shoot arrows through the heart, or leave you dazzled by their virtuosity” ★★★★★ List

Treasure Island

By Bryony Lavery

“Not one of us must breathe a word of what we’ve found…”

On a wild and stormy night, Jim Hawkins, the inn-keeper’s fearless granddaughter, opens the door to a mysterious stranger. At his feet lies a heavy sea-chest packed with secrets that will change her life forever. With that single brave decision, Jim is swept into a world of pirates, peril and buried treasure, where loyalty is tested, danger lurks in every shadow, and nothing is quite what it seems.

Bryony Lavery’s electrifying adaptation of Treasure Island brings Robert Louis Stevenson’s legendary tale roaring to life with bold storytelling, thrilling adventure and unforgettable characters. From the treacherous charm of Long John Silver to the heart-pounding race for hidden gold, this is a story of courage, betrayal and the irresistible call of the unknown.

First premiered at the National Theatre in 2014, this gripping version crackles with energy, humour and suspense. Performed by the talented pupils of Oundle School, Treasure Island promises a swashbuckling theatrical experience for all ages – packed with danger, discovery and the timeless magic of adventure on the high seas.
