Revive Theatre brings Mark Haddon’s beloved story to the stage with a bold, heartfelt new production.

When a neighbour’s dog is found dead, 15-year-old Christopher Boone decides to uncover the truth. Brilliant with numbers but baffled by people, he begins an investigation that propels him far beyond the safety of home. As long-buried secrets surface, Christopher must navigate trust, family, and the extraordinary way his mind interprets the world.

This fresh staging of the National Theatre’s award-winning adaptation blends inventive storytelling, striking visual design and a powerful central performance. With an ensemble that shifts, supports and transforms around Christopher’s journey, the production invites audiences directly into his unique perspective — a world that is intense, methodical and unexpectedly beautiful.

Honest, moving and powerful, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a theatrical experience that stays with you long after the lights come up.

We're delighted to support a new independent film project from Revive Theatre founder Richard Batt.

After years in development, Gran Dead is now heading into production this summer. Blending dark comedy, horror, and drama, the film tells the story of a care home where a revolutionary treatment appears to reverse dementia. But as the residents begin to change, it becomes clear that some miracles come at a terrible cost.

The Kickstarter campaign is now live and we're asking our wonderful theatre community to help bring this unique project to the screen. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1140827867/gran-dead-short-film

If you're able to support the campaign, thank you. If not, a share can make a huge difference and help us reach people who may wish to get involved.

Thank you for supporting independent storytelling and the artists who create it.

An experimental injection restores a dementia patient's clarity, revealing a care home far more monstrous than her illness.
