Like a Scandi-noir thriller, this eerie theatre show takes no prisoners
Theatre: Let the Right One In, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow, Neil Cooper, Four stars
Blood is a lot thicker than water for Oskar and his new friend Eli in Jack Thorne’s stage version of Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist’s much-filmed teen vampire novel. Revived here by director Finn den Hertog in a production performed by final year acting students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Oskar is a teenage schoolboy bullied by the tough kids at school.
Eli appears to be the girl next door who can more than hold her own in a scrap. As their friendship clicks, the pair tap out after dark messages to each........
