THE National Theatre production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is back in Bridport by popular demand.

It is being shown at the Electric Palace on Thursday, May 22 at 7pm.

The production is based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon, adapted by Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliott.

It tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher, who has Asperger’s Syndrome.

He has an extraordinary brain – exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.

When he falls under suspicion of killing Mrs Shears’s dog Wellington, he records each fact about the event in the book he is writing to solve the mystery.

Tickets costs £11 or £8 for Electric Palace friends and support groups.

They can also be bought from Bridport Tourist Information Centre or seetickets.com
