LET THE RIGHT ONE IN to Take a Bite Out of The Alley Theatre in 2017; Dates Added!

The Alley Theatre announced additional dates for internationally acclaimed production Let the Right One In, presented by the National Theatre of Scotland. Let the Right One In begins preview performances February 17, opens February 22 and continues through March 19, 2017 in the Hubbard Theatre. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased at alleytheatre.org.

From John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the director and playwright of 2016's spectacular smash Harry Potter and the Cursed Child comes this spellbinding piece of theatrical storytelling. Supernatural thriller Let the Right One In is a brutal and tender vampire myth told through the turbulence of a coming-of-age romance. Oskar, a lonely boy from a broken home, is bullied at school and longing for friendship. Eli, the young girl who moves in next door, doesn't attend school and rarely leaves home. When a series of mysterious killings plagues the neighborhood, these two young misfits, sensing in each other a kindred spirit, forge a deep connection. But the shocking truth about one of them tests their young friendship-and love-beyond all imaginable limits.

Tony and Olivier Award-winning director John Tiffany (Black Watch, Once) directs this major new production which was adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne following the international success of the original Swedish novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist and subsequent film.

Let the Right One In is presented by the National Theatre of Scotland by arrangement with Marla Rubin Productions Ltd and Bill Kenwright and supported by the Scottish Government International Touring Fund.
