NTPD is excited to announce that we will be opening the 2024/25 season with this West End smash hit based on Mark Haddon’s best selling book.

The story centres around young Christopher Boone who sets out to investigate the mystery of his neighbour's dead dog. Christopher is autistic and has an extraordinary brain. He sees the world very differently, is a genius at maths, but has never before ventured beyond the end of his own road

.

The play picked up a record breaking 7 Laurence Olivier awards at the 2013 ceremony, and 5 Tony awards, and was ground-breaking in its technical and thrilling staging. It’s a fun, exciting play, and emotionally uplifting.

A mesmerising thriller with plenty of twists and a liberal dash of comedy ...

The Great Gordo, an alcoholic stage hypnotist in the twilight of his career, randomly chooses Alan Briggs as his next stooge.  Briggs, a mild-mannered policeman, is a good sport, the audience laughs, and everyone goes home.

For Gordo, it's just the end of another show, and time for a drink or three before bed - but someone out there has other ideas...........extraordinary ideas.

The mind games begin, the stakes are raised, and we sense there can only be one winner.

But who?

Based on the hugely popular 90's TV sitcom, this uproarious comedy is the adventures of hapless cafe owner Rene Artois during World War II in Nazi occupied France.

Expect to see all your favourite TV characters in this one, including Rene's tone deaf wife Edith, Yvette and Mimi, the serving girls, Officer Crabtree, and of course not forgetting the Gestapo officer Herr Flick.

Rene and his wife have stashed away a priceless portrait, stolen by the Nazi’s in their cellar, where two British airmen are hiding until the Resistance can repatriate them.  News that the Fuhrer is scheduled to visit the town inspires tricksters disguised as Hitler to frequent the café.

Meanwhile Rene must summon up all the wit he can to save his café and his life.

Tickets are likely to be popular for this one , so don't delay in booking yours.
