Christie designed the sets and costumes for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which was initially produced at the Royal National Theatre in 2012, and also was performed on Broadway in 2014.^[5]

In 2014, Christie designed the set for the new musical Made in Dagenham.^[6] She designed the set for People, Places and Things which ran at the Royal National Theatre in 2015 and Off-Broadway at St. Ann's Warehouse in 2017.^[7]

In 2018, she designed the set for Marianne Elliot’s gender bending revival of the musical Company. The musical opened in the West End in 2018.^[8]

She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours for her services to British theatre.^[9]

David Jays, writing in The Guardian, described her style: "Bunny Christie doesn’t design stage sets. She creates worlds. Audaciously theatrical and frequently startling, her creations pull spectators headlong into the universe of a play – whether through the disorienting aperture of The Red Barn or the vintage newsroom pile-up in Ink. Christie often places us inside a protagonist’s head – she designs psychology as well as space, most notably for the singular hero of The Curious Incident, which won her one of her three Olivier awards."^[10]
