Following a highly acclaimed tour across the UK and Ireland, the National Theatre's smash-hit production of THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE will return to London's West End for a strictly 7-week run this autumn. Based on a best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman, adapted by Joel Horwood and Katy Rudd, this thrilling adventure of fantasy, myth and friendship, will play at the Noel Coward Theatre from 11 October until 25 November 2023.

This first major stage adaptation of Neil Gaiman's work blends magic with memory in a tour-de-force of storytelling that takes audience on an epic journey to a childhood once forgotten and the darkness that lurks at the very edge of it. This year marks 10 years since the novel was first published.
