Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a gripping West End play that takes you back to the beginning, revealing Hawkins' story before the world turned upside down. Written by Kate Trefry with an original story by the Duffer Brothers, this prequel explores the past of iconic characters like Joyce, Hopper, and the origins of Henry Creel.

Located at the Phoenix Theatre between Soho and Covent Garden, the production uses innovative stagecraft and theatrical storytelling to transport the audience into a new dimension. It is a journey back to 1959, where a seemingly regular town hides secrets that may hold the key to the end of the story.
