From Jack Thorne, writer of the Netflix sensation Adolescence, comes a major new tour of the international hit play Let The Right One In. The critically acclaimed production will tour major theatres across the UK from October 2025 to April 2026, following a smash-hit sold-out run at Manchester’s Royal Exchange. Tickets are available from LetTheRightOneInPlay.com.
Adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne, who co-wrote the global Netflix drama sensation Adolescence, the play is based on the best-selling Swedish novel and award-winning film by Jon Ajvide Lindqvist. It is considered a prime example of Scandi-noir storytelling. Casting will be announced soon.
Thorne’s stage adaptation of the international vampire hit film masterfully weaves the novel’s chilling horror with a deeply human story of love, loneliness, and survival. Audiences across the UK can expect a visceral, cinematic experience where the beauty of the original novel and film is reimagined for the stage, with gripping intensity that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
Jack Thorne said: “It was such a privilege to adapt Let The Right One In, a story that is so deceptive in terms of the way it looks at genre, gender and at love. I am so excited that more people are going to have the opportunity to see Bryony Shanahan’s sinewy dangerous production.”
Directed by Bryony Shanahan, this supernatural thriller explores themes of loneliness, bullying, friendship, and the complexities of love. Tormented at school and isolated at home, Oskar has only his imagination to keep him company. That’s until Eli moves in next door. Mysterious and unsettling, Eli is unlike anyone Oskar has ever met before. However, an unlikely friendship sparks between them – one that is as deep as it is strange. But when gruesome murders are discovered across the town, Oskar slowly unravels the truth about Eli and their strange bond is stretched to breaking point.
