The National Theatre's production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time has announced over 100,000 new tickets on sale, as it has extended its booking period to 23 May 2015.

The Olivier Award-winning production has now been seen on stage by over 400,000 people, and has recently opened for previews on Broadway at the Barrymore Theatre. The play reopened at the Gielgud Theatre on 8 July 2014, following previews from 24 June. It was previously booking to 14 February 2015.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time is based on Mark Haddon's award-winning novel, adapted by Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliott. The production is designed by Bunny Christie, with lighting by Paule Constable, video design by Finn Ross, movement by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett for Frantic Assembly, music by Adrian Sutton and sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph.

Graham Butler currently plays the central role of Christopher Boone. He is joined by Vivienne Acheampong (No. 40/Punk Girl), Daniel Casey (Roger Shears), Emily Joyce (Judy), Gay Soper (Mrs Alexander), Paul Stocker (Mr Thompson), Nicolas Tennant (Ed), Tony Turner (Reverend Peters), Victoria Willing (Mrs Shears), Sarah Woodward (Siobhan) and Sam Bond, Roxanne Palmer and Mark Rawlings.

The original production opened at the Cottesloe Theatre at the National Theatre in 2012, before transferring to the West End's Apollo Theatre, where it played until 19 December 2013, when it was forced to close following the collapse of part of the Apollo Theatre ceiling. The production won seven Olivier Awards, including the award for Best New Play.
