In the eagerly anticipated live theatrical adaptation, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the eerie and mysterious world of Hawkins is brought to life on stage. This reimagining delves into the untold story of the enigmatic Shadow Monster, a being with seemingly limitless power that sets the stage for the supernatural events that unfold in the Netflix series. A talented ensemble of performers comes together to create an immersive and unsettling experience for the audience, drawing them into the heart of the mystery. By adding depth and complexity to the characters and their world, the show's creators aim to challenge perceptions of the Stranger Things universe, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved characters. With its blend of drama, horror, and suspense, Stranger Things: The First Shadow promises to be a haunting and unforgettable theatrical experience that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a play written by Kate Trefry from an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Trefry. It serves as a prequel to the television series, exploring the backstory of Henry Creel before he became the antagonist Vecna. The production was directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin.
The play officially opened on December 14 at the Phoenix Theatre in London's West End. It began a run on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre, New York City, on April 22, 2025. In an interview with Variety, the Duffer Brothers confirmed the play is canon to the original series, with the series finale referencing events of the play. Tickets are from £30.
