Let the Right One In

Haeoreum Theatre

5 July – 16 Aug 2025 | South Korea

Overview

Let the Right One In is a truly rare piece of theatre, an enchanting, brutal vampire myth and a coming-of-age love story.

Oskar is a lonely bullied teenage boy living with his mother on a housing estate at the edge of town. Eli, a girl who has just moved in next door. She doesn’t go to school and never leaves the flat by day.

Sensing in each other a kindred spirit, the two quickly become devoted friends. What Oskar doesn’t know however, is that Eli has been a teenager for a very long time… As their friendship deepens, a series of sinister killings shock the neighbourhood.

A stage adaptation by Jack Thorne.

Based on the Swedish novel and film by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

Seensee Company Ltd in association with Bill Kenwright and Maria Rubin Productions Ltd present The National Theatre of Scotland production.
