'Curious Incident' set to headline Dublin Theatre Festival

The stage of The Curious Incident could be one of the highlights of the Dublin Theatre Festival, writes Padraic Killeen

BOASTING plays from Conor McPherson, Enda Walsh and Brian Friel, the Dublin Theatre Festival will assume control of the capital’s stages for the next fortnight or so.

One of the highlights is the Irish premiere of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, the adaptation of Mark Haddon’s popular 2003 novel, which arrives in Dublin fresh from winning a slew of Tony Awards on Broadway earlier this year.
