A supernatural thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat

A visceral stage adaptation of the best-selling Swedish novel and film, Let The Right One In is a modern-day horror story with a twist.

Oskar is a lonely, bullied teenager who lives with his mother in a bleak apartment building on the edge of town. Eli just moved in next door – she doesn’t go to school and never leaves her flat. They quickly become unlikely friends, but when a series of grisly unexplained murders plague the neighbourhood, their friendship is tested beyond all imaginable limits.

Directed by Alexander Berlage (American Psycho) and superbly crafted for the stage by Jack Thorne, the award-winning writer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, this brutal and beautiful coming-of-age story is filled with murder, mystery and the euphoria of first love.

★★★★★ 'Unforgettable. Explosive. One of the most original shows of the year'
- The Observer

★★★★★ 'Exquisitely beautiful’
- The Guardian

★★★★ ‘A full-blooded, gorgeously realised love story that retains its humanity even in its most feral moments’
- Time Out

*Recommended for adults and fearless teenagers ages 15 and up
