A RELAXED performance of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is to take place to mark World Autism Awareness Day 2015.

The National Theatre’s multi award-winning production, adapted by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon’s best-selling book, makes its Southampton debut at the Mayflower Theatre on June 23. It will run for two weeks until July 4.

On July 2 at 2pm, the Mayflower Theatre will be hosting the only relaxed performance on the 31 venue tour.

The relaxed performance is presented in association with the National Autistic Society and has been specifically designed to welcome people who will benefit from a more relaxed environment, including people on the autism spectrum, sensory and communication difficulties, or a learning disability.

At this performance there will be a relaxed attitude to noise and movement and some small changes made to the light and sound effects.
