The Ocean at the End of the Lane

About This Show

The National Theatre’s acclaimed production of The Ocean at the End of the Lane is now playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London’s West End. Now booking to May 2022 due to popular demand.

From the imagination of Neil Gaiman, best-selling author of Good Omens, Coraline and The Sandman, comes a spectacular and thrilling five star tour de force of magic and storytelling, adapted by Joel Horwood and directed by Katy Rudd.

Returning to his childhood home, a man finds himself standing beside the pond of the old Sussex farmhouse where he used to play. He’s transported to his 12th birthday when his friend Lettie claimed it wasn’t a pond, but an ocean… Plunged into a magical world, their survival depends on their ability to reckon with ancient forces that threaten to destroy everything around them.
