Neil Gaiman's heart-wrenching book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, has been adapted into a devastatingly emotional and beautiful play of the same name. The National Theatre's production was shown at the Duke of York's Theatre in London and has just finished its run; but it will go on tour in winter later [...]
