LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

“The production is such a special opportunity for both of these Cincinnati institutions. Actors from both CCM and CSC have the opportunity to work on a piece that challenges the imagination, shows the transformative power of adaptation in the theatre, and a brings a uniquely haunting story to life just in time for Halloween.” – Brain Isaac Phillips, director

By Jack Thorne
Based on the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist

A collaboration with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company (CSC) 
Brian Isaac Phillips, guest director from CSC
Featuring CSC actors Barry Mulholland, Kelly Mengelkoch, Geoffrey Barnes II and Billy Chace


An enchanting, brutal vampire myth and coming-of-age love story adapted from the bestselling novel and award-winning film. Oskar is a bullied, lonely teenage boy living with his mother on a housing estate at the edge of town when a series of sinister killings rock the neighborhood. Eli is the young girl who has just moved in next door. She doesn’t go to school and never leaves the flat by day. 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.
