AN AWARD winning theatre show is coming to Southend.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, winner of seven Olivier awards and five Tony Awards including best play, will arrive at the Cliffs Pavilion on July 18 to 22.

The National Theatre’s internationally acclaimed production is currently touring the UK and Ireland.

The stage adaption of Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher; exceptional at maths but ill-equipped for everyday life.

When suspected of killing his neighbour’s dog, he is taken on a journey that upturns his world. Suitable for ages 11 and older, ticket prices range from £20 to £42 from southendtheatres.org.uk
