A National Theatre award-winning production is returning to the Theatre Royal.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a novel by author Mark Haddon which has been adapted by Simon Stephens, returns to Nottingham on Tuesday April 4.
The production runs every night from then until Saturday April 15 including some matinee performances.
National Theatre producer Kash Bennett said: “We were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reception from audiences around the UK and Ireland when we toured this in 2014/15.
“It played to almost 400,000 people and we are delighted to take this beautiful and inventive show to new venues and make a return to visit others in 2017.”
The cast includes Scott Reid, currently appearing in TV comedy Still Game, in the lead role as Christopher Boone, alongside Lucianne McEvoy, Emma Beattie, David Michaels, Debra Michaels and Eliza Collings.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time tells the story of Christopher Boone, who is fifteen years old.
He stands beside Mrs Shears’ dead dog, which has been speared with a garden fork; it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion.
He records each fact in a book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington.
He has an extraordinary brain, and is exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.
He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and distrusts strangers.
But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
