About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a stage production set in Hawkins, 1959, where regular town life is disrupted by the arrival of new student Henry Creel. The story follows young Jim Hopper, Bob Newby and Joyce Maldonado as their lives begin to shift before the events of Stranger Things that audiences know from the screen.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, the production uses theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to tell a new chapter in the Stranger Things story. It has received five-star reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Standard.

The show is described as taking audiences back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story, with events and characters that may hold the key to the end.
