Oskar is a bullied, lonely, teenager living with his mother on a housing estate at the edge of town, when a spate of sinister killings rocks the neighbourhood. Eli is the girl who has just moved in next door. Sensing in each other a kindred spirit, the two become devoted friends. What Oskar doesn’t know is that Eli has been a teenager for a very long time…
Let the Right One In is a dark and visceral coming of age vampire love story. Based on the acclaimed novel and film by John Ajvide Lindqvist, this mesmerising stage adaptation was first produced by the National Theatre of Scotland, with Marla Rubin Productions Ltd, at Dundee Rep Theatre, before a run in London’s West End, while its New York Broadway run only finished in March 2015.

We are very pleased to be one of the first amateur companies to gain the performing rights to this production. It is an extremely complex play, which will really stretch and challenge both the acting and technical parts of our Company in equal measure. Physical drama, combat and choreographed movement will feature heavily. Some actors will need to play multiple characters.
Anne-marie Greene will be directing this exciting drama and is holding an OPEN READING on Tuesday 21st July at 7.30pm in the Bar. All those interested in being involved in any way are invited to attend and anyone who would like to just come along and enjoy reading or listening would also be very welcome. AUDITIONS will take place on Sunday 2nd August at 2.30 pm, and Thursday 6th August at 730pm in the Bar when all those interested in being cast should attend.
