The international sensation Let The Right One In returns to the stage in a new UK & Ireland tour, following a smash-hit sold-out run at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, directed by Bryony Shanahan. Adapted for the stage by acclaimed playwright Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, His Dark Materials) and based on the Swedish novel and film by Jon Ajvide Lindqvist, this vampire classic is a compelling and unnerving story that will leave your pulse pounding and heart racing.
Tormented at school and lonely at home, Oskar has only his imagination to keep him company. That’s until Eli moves in next door. Mysterious and unsettling, Eli is unlike anyone Oskar has ever met before. However, an unlikely friendship sparks between them – one that is as deep as it is strange. But when gruesome murders are discovered across the town, Oskar slowly unravels the truth about Eli and their strange bond is stretched to breaking point.
