The National Theatre has applied a similar formula to Ocean. In some ways, the fantastical Ocean is similar to the real-world A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, one of the National Theatre’s most acclaimed productions, which premiered a decade ago. Whilst Ocean is obviously a fantasy novel, it has many relatable themes, such as family and finding oneself, which the National Theatre has brought to the forefront. The play’s success led to a West End transfer and now a national tour, with its regional premiere held at The Lowry. The two most notable have been television series: Bryan Fuller and Michael Green’s controversial adaptation of American Gods (2017), and Gaiman’s own adaptation of Good Omens (2019) – the novel he wrote with Terry Pratchett.Īlso in 2019, Joel Horwood ambitiously brought Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of Lane to life onstage at the National Theatre.
There have been several huge Neil Gaiman adaptations in recent years.
