Texas Performing Arts Presents The National Theatre of Scotland's LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

The National Theatre of Scotland returns to Texas Performing Arts with its critically acclaimed production of Let the Right One In, January 18-29 at McCullough Theatre.

John Tiffany and Jack Thorne's bewitching production, adapted from John Ajvide Lindqvist's original Swedish novel and film of the same name, has entranced audiences since its debut at the Dundee Rep Theatre in 2013, going on to play at The Royal Court Theatre (London) and the Apollo Theatre in London's West End the following year, and at St. Ann's Warehouse in New York in 2015.

Let the Right One In is a tender, funny, and brutal love story following the burgeoning relationship between Oskar, a lonely, bullied teenage boy, and Eli, a centuries-old but eternally young vampire who befriends him. The show has received widespread critical acclaim and won the South Bank Sky Arts Theatre Award in 2014.

Returning cast members for this revival include Cristian Ortega in the role of Oskar, Ewan Stewart as Hakan, Andrew Fraser, Stephen McCole, Graeme Dalling, and Angus Miller. They will be joined by new cast members Lucy Mangan, in the role of Eli, and Jo Freer, who will play Oskar's mother.

Let the Right One In is the National Theatre of Scotland's fourth presentation of work at Texas Performing Arts. Previous productions include Black Watch (winner of the 2010-2011 Austin Critic's Table Award for Best Touring Show), Long Gone Lonesome, and The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart (currently playing at the McKittrick Hotel in New York).

The world-class creative team behind the production includes Tony and Olivier Award-winning director John Tiffany and two-time BAFTA Award-winning writer Jack Thorne, fresh from their success with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The production features original music by BAFTA Award-winning Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds, set design by Tony Award-winner Christine Jones, lighting design by Chahine Yavroyan, sound design by Olivier Award-winner Gareth Fry and special effects design by Jeremy Chernick.

Let the Right One In is a National Theatre of Scotland production, by arrangement with Marla Rubin Productions Ltd and Bill Kenwright.
