The critical consensus

Gripping, horrifying, this is no ordinary vampire tale but a haunting production that disturbingly lingers on in the mind.

Joy Watters, Across the Arts, 10/06/2013

Haunting and claustrophobic, John Tiffany’s final production as an associate director for the National Theatre of Scotland finds the glacial heart of the Nordic vampire myth and nourishes it with the blood of live performance.

Thom Dibdin, The Stage, 10/06/2013

It replicates the shallow-focus Scandinavian atmosphere of Tomas Alfredson's 2008 movie, right down to the snowdrifts, climbing frame and Rubik's cube-era details, while giving stronger definition to the central love story.

Mark Fisher, The Guardian, 09/06/2013

A tightly controlled and satisfying experience.

Ambitious and beautifully-shaped.
