Win tickets to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The acclaimed stage adaptation of ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ is heading to the Liverpool Empire stage this month, and Educate has two pairs of tickets to give away.

Fresh from its huge success at the prestigious Tony Awards, the National Theatre production stops off in the city from 21-25 July as part of its first nationwide tour of the UK, having already proven a major hit in the West End and on Broadway, and two lucky readers plus guests will get to enjoy the performance on its opening night.

The show, originally a best-selling book by Mark Haddon, tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher Boone, who is under suspicion as he stands beside Mrs Shears’ dead dog seven minutes after midnight. He records each fact in a book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington.

Christopher, who has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life; has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, detests being touched and distrusts strangers. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
