Why see Let The Right One In?
WILL YOU OPEN THE DOOR?
Adapted from John Ajvide Lindqvist's cult novel, this wonderfully chilling play from Jack Thorne returns to London, ready to spook audiences at the brand new Underbelly Boulevard. Ethereal, compelling and unforgettable, the production premiered in 2014, where it was described by The Observer as "First-rate... situated on the slipway between dream and daily life... a mesmerizing evening".
What Is The Story?
On the dreary housing estate where Oskar lives with his preoccupied parents, the status quo of downtrodden misery is rocked by a series of sinister killings, spilling blood onto the snowy ground, and mystifying the residents and the police.
But could Oskar be on to the perpetrator? Striking up a strange friendship with his reclusive neighbor Eli, he learns more about life and death than he set out to in this coming-of-age story, with a supernatural (but subtle) difference. A haunting, heartbreaking theatrical masterpiece, Let The Right One In has all the makings of a clever and moving hit, that will elicit gasps long after you've left the stalls.

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
