Theatre SF Review (TSFR) : “Let The Right One In”
I have watched the original film, "Let the Right One In," as well as the television series. The recent stage adaptation at Berkeley Repertory delivers a poignant coming-of-age narrative that revolves around the relationship between Oskar and Eli.
"Let the Right One In" is a widely acclaimed play that explores themes of friendship, love, and the darkness that can reside within us. It often showcases powerful dramatic moments and delves into the complex relationships between its characters, including Oskar and his mother, Oskar and his bullies, as well as Oskar and Eli. One of my favorite moments is the dance sequence in the first act, which beautifully portrays the close bond between mother and son. Additionally, the pivotal moment where Oskar grants Eli permission to enter the apartment is emotionally impactful. Another memorable scene is when Eli sleeps inside the trunk, with Oskar beside it, highlighting the blossoming bond between them.
Berkeley Repertory is currently showcasing the National Theatre's "Let the Right One In" at the Roda Theatre, and it will be playing until June 25, 2023. The stage adaptation, by Jack Thorne, is based on the Swedish novel and film by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The production is directed by John Tiffany.
The cast of "Let the Right One In" includes John Demegillo as Micke, Jack DiFalco as Janne, Erik Hellman as Kurt, Michael Johnston as Johnny, Noah Lamanna as Eli, Diego Luciano as Oskar, Nicole Shaloub as Oskar's mom, Julius Thomas III as Mr. Avila, Richard Topol as Hallam. The understudies for the production are Gabby Policano for Eli, Lisa Anne Porter for Oskar's mom, Lawrence Radecker for Hakan, Mr. Avila, Halmberg, and Johnny Rice for Kurt, Jocke, and more.
"Let the Right One In" is a novel written by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist. Published in 2004, it is a unique blend of horror, romance, and coming-of-age themes. The story takes place in the suburbs of Stockholm, primarily focusing on the relationship between two main characters: Oskar, a lonely and bullied 12-year-old boy, and Eli, a mysterious young girl who moves into the same apartment complex.
Oskar is constantly tormented by his classmates and finds solace in a secluded spot where he often fantasizes about revenge. One evening, he meets Eli, who appears to be around his age but has an otherworldly aura. Eli only comes out at night, and despite her peculiarities, she and Oskar strike up an unlikely friendship. Oskar finds comfort and companionship with Eli, unaware of her dark secret—she is a vampire.
As their bond deepens, Oskar starts to discover Eli's true nature. He witnesses her drinking blood and realizes that she requires it to survive. Despite the horror of this revelation, Oskar continues to be drawn to Eli, and she becomes his protector against his tormentors. Together, they navigate the complexities of their relationship, grappling with themes of loneliness, love, and the blurred lines between good and evil.
Throughout the story, Lindqvist delves into the moral ambiguity of vampirism and explores the emotional vulnerability and resilience of his young protagonists. The narrative explores the themes of alienation, violence, and the yearning for connection in a dark and atmospheric setting.
"Let the Right One In" received critical acclaim for its haunting atmosphere, character development, and thought-provoking exploration of human nature. It has been adapted into a successful Swedish film in 2008 and an English-language film titled "Let Me In" in 2010, as well as a stage play and other adaptations in various forms of media.
To conclude, the current production of "Let the Right One In" at Berkeley Repertory is a triumph in diversity as it embraces transgender representation in the updated stage version. This inclusive casting choice is commendable and adds a significant layer of representation to the production. Bravo to the entire cast, production team, and creatives involved in bringing this powerful and thought-provoking play to life.
