From John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the director and playwright of 2016 hit Harry Potter and the Cursed Child comes LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, a spellbinding piece of theatrical storytelling. The supernatural thriller is a brutal, yet 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 longs 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 in arrangement with Marla Rubin Productions Ltd and Bill Kenwright and supported by the Scottish Government International Touring Fund. Founded in 2006, the company is dedicated to playing the great stages, arts centres, village halls, schools, and site-specific locations at home and abroad. It is a globally recognized, award-winning company with an extensive repertoire. Learn more at nationaltheatrescotland.com.
