Nantwich Players are to stage auditions for their production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Simon Stephens, adapted from the award-winning novel by Mark Haddon.
Directed by Chris Ridge, this gripping and heartfelt production will be performed from February 14-22 2025 at Nantwich Players Theatre on Love Lane.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time tells the extraordinary story of Christopher Boone, a young boy with an exceptional mind, who embarks on a journey to solve the mystery of who killed his neighbour’s dog.
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.
Auditions will take place on Tuesday November 5 2024 at 7.30pm at Nantwich Players Theatre.
