Why see Let The Right One In?

Will You Open The Door?

In the wintry, ethereal beauty of Jack Thorne's celebrated adaptation of Let The Right One In (co-writer of Netflix's Adolescence), it's not just Oskar's strange new neighbor, Eli, who is bathed in silver birch twilight. Critically acclaimed across the board, this staging of the cult Swedish novel and film tells the story of a lonely boy who discovers that his new friend may be much more than they seem - and far older than 11 years old. A divine treat for the eyes, ears, and soul. Let The Right One In has all the makings of a clever and deeply moving hit - catch it as it heads across the UK on tour!

About The Show

On the dreary housing estate where Oskar lives with his troubled parents, the usual atmosphere of misery is shattered by a series of sinister killings. Blood stains the snowy ground, leaving residents and police mystified. But could Oskar be onto the perpetrator? As he strikes up an unusual friendship with his reclusive neighbor, he learns more about life and death than he ever anticipated in this chilling yet subtle supernatural coming-of-age story.

Directed by Bryony Shanahan, this production premiered at Manchester's Royal Exchange in 2022. Casting will be announced soon.

Gorgeous sets, heartstopping terror

The first thing I noticed when walking into the auditorium was the set - a wintry forest scene, which remains unchanged throughout. Props are seamlessly changed by cast between scenes. Oskar and Eli are sweet protaganists, but be warned, this is gore heavy so if you have an aversion to blood, stay back. There is a moment that causes a near-heart attack, which got everybody talking after the show. Only downside was the interpretive dancing, which took too long. ... Read more
