It has been confirmed that John Tiffany’s acclaimed production of Let The Right One In will transfer to the West End's Apollo Theatre next month.
The show marks the first production to run at the Apollo Theatre following last year's ceiling collapse during a performance of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. The theatre has since been refurbished.
Based on the Swedish novel and cult-hit film by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let The Right One In marks the National Theatre of Scotland’s West End debut and follows the show’s sell out success at the Royal Court Theatre. It is described as a "chilling tale of loneliness, love and legend". Let The Right One In opens on Monday 7th April (previews from 26th March).
Oskar is a lonely boy from a broken home. He’s bullied at school and is longing for friendship. Eli is a troubled girl who’s just moved in next door. She never goes to school and is compelled to fill an eternal emptiness. When a series of brutal killings plagues the neighbourhood, these two young misfits make a deep connection, sensing in each other a kindred spirit. But the shocking truth about Eli tests Oskar’s loyalty - and love - beyond all imaginable limits, in this chilling tale of loneliness, love and legend.
The auditorium will feature a stunning new cyclorama designed by the show’s award-winning designer Christine Jones. Something of a design coup, this imaginative extension will take the world of the play into the auditorium itself, adding an immersive dimension to the event.
Rebecca Benson and Martin Quinn will reprise their roles as Eli and Oskar. Other cast members include: Graeme Dalling, Angus Miller, Cristian Ortega and Susan Vidler.
