The National Theatre is to bring its first tour of the acclaimed production, based on Neil Gaiman’s best-selling novel to the Lowry, in December.

The three-time Olivier-nominated play is adapted from graphic novelist, Neil Gaiman’s 2013 novel of the same name.

Directed by Camp Siegfried and Eureka Day’s, Katy Rudd, the play is The National Theatre’s largest production since the pandemic, touring for over 40 weeks.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane follows the story of a man who returns to his childhood home, sparking the magic of memory and naivety.
