About Stranger Things: The First Shadow
Stranger Things: The First Shadow is set in Hawkins, 1959, before the world turned upside down. It follows a regular town with regular worries, where young Jim Hopper’s car will not start, Bob Newby’s sister does not take his radio show seriously, and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and leave town.
When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family discovers that a fresh start is not so simple, and the shadows of the past have a long reach. The production is brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, using theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to tell an earlier chapter of the Stranger Things story.
Running time: Approx 3 hrs including an interval.
