The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time opened at the National's Cottesloe Theatre in August 2012 playing to almost 27,000 people. Following the sell-out run at the NT the production transferred to the Apollo Theatre in March 2013 where almost 300,000 people saw the show. In February this year, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was performed for free 'in the round' in a stripped down version for 2000 East London school children and, in addition, a week of performances took place for over 1000 members of the Emergency Services and their families.

In May 2014 Simon Stephens' adaptation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was added to the AQA GCSE English literature set texts for English schools, making it the only modern play currently performing in the West End to be part of AQA Post-1914 drama and prose selection.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is currently booking at the Gielgud Theatre to 14 February 2015. Public booking is now open for the Broadway premiere where performances will begin at the Barrymore Theatre on 15 September 2014, with opening night 5 October 2014. A tour of the UK and Ireland will open at The Lowry in Salford later this year.
