Award-winning theatre company, Naughty Corner Productions, will see their ninth production debut at The Hope Street Theatre this October.

In SHEEP, five friends take a trip to the Lake District to relive their booze and drug-fuelled university days and escape from their banal and disappointing lives. When they wake up to a sheep with its throat cut open and a used condom dumped on top of it, with no recollection of what’s happened, they are forced to confront the reality of who they are.
Written by Oliver Beck and directed by Mike Dickinson.

Winner of the Olivier Award and Tony Award® for Best Play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time brings Mark Haddon’s international best-selling novel to thrilling life on stage in a dazzling adaptation by two-time Olivier Award winner Simon Stephens and directed by Olivier and Tony Award® winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse, Company).
Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain – exceptional at maths, while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbour’s dog, it takes him on a journey that upturns his world.
Hailed as ‘extraordinary,’ ‘dazzling’ and ‘unmissable’ by Time Magazine, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a theatrical phenomenon simply not to be missed.
