Join us for the opening night of our brand new National Theatre Live series where Mark Haddon's multi-award-winning novel is beautifully adapted into a stage play for the first time. In the intimate setting of the Cottesloe Theatre, NT Live will transport us to front row seats for this imaginative in-the-round production.

Christopher is under suspicion of killing Mrs Shears dog. With an extraordinary brain, he's exceptional at maths but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, but his detective work takes Christopher on a journey that upturns his world. Starring Matthew Barker and Niamh Cusack.

Running time:  approx. 2 ½ hours including 20-minute interval

Adapted from Mark Haddon's best-selling novel
