The Curse Of The Daleks is a Dalek stage play, written by David Whitaker and Terry Nation, which appeared for one month at the Wyndham's Theatre in London, beginning on 21 December 1965. It is notable for being Terry Nation's first live-action attempt to exercise his ownership of the Dalek concept independently of the BBC. As such, it does not include the Doctor, the TARDIS or any other elements from Doctor Who.
It was performed mostly as a matinée, indicating its marketing towards children.
It was produced by John Gale and Ernest Hecht, and directed by Gillian Howell. It starred Nicholas Hawtrey (Captain Redway), Edward Gardener (Rocket Smith), David Ashford (Bob Slater), John Moore (Professor Vanderlyn), Hilary Tindall (Marion Clements), John Line (Jonathon Ladiver), Colin Miller (Harry Sline), Nicholas Bennet (Dexion), and Suzanne Mockler (Ijayna).
