‘Let The Right One In’
RADIO PLAY
Background
District-14 Youth Theatre were due to perform their fourth full-length play, ‘Let The Right One In’, in June 2020. As a result of the lockdown restrictions in response to Covid-19, the group immediately took the play into a new space, that belonging to the radio play. Bringing John Ajvide Lindqvist’s original novel together with Jack Thorne’s adaptation for the stage, and inspired by the work of Foley sound artists, the group met on a weekly basis basis March and July 2020 to record the full play. All 34 scenes are included below.
“He is a twelve-year-old outsider; bullied at school, dreaming about his absentee father, bored with life on a dreary housing estate. One evening he meets a mysterious girl. As friendship blossoms between them, he discovers her dark secret – she is a 200-year-old vampire, forever frozen in childhood and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood.”
