![]() ![]() Based on the exquisite 2008 Swedish movie of the same name, this hauntingly lovely National Theatre of Scotland production eschews cheap scares, instead tapping into a deep vein of existential dread in its West Coast premiere at Berkeley Rep. It’s there that bodies are found, strung from branches like sides of beef, in “Let the Right One In.”įramed by Christine Jones’ macabre scenic design, these slayings intrigue Oskar (a magnetic Diego Lucano) almost as much as his new neighbor Eli (a beguiling Noah Lamanna), a lithe beauty who makes him shiver in more ways than one. He feels as isolated by them as he does wandering through the desolate forest of birch trees surrounding his town. His father leaves, his mother drinks and the teachers look the other way. ![]() Oskar is a lonely 12-year-old boy, viciously bullied at school every day of his life. ![]()
