Jack Thorne on Let The Right One In and why Adolescence ‘isn’t an instruction manual’

Jack Thorne is one of the country’s very best creative talents, the screenwriter behind little series like Adolescence, Toxic Town, This Is England and the new version of Lord of the Flies, and playwright of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Motive and The Cue and the Old Vic’s always-sold-out version of A Christmas Carol. Among his relentless stream of projects, currently running at the Underbelly Boulevard Soho is a revival of his play of Let The Right One In, performed this time around by the National Youth Theatre, who are this year celebrating their 70th anniversary.
