About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the Phoenix Theatre is set in Hawkins, 1959, before the world turned upside down. The story follows young Jim Hopper, Bob Newby and Joyce Maldonado, while new student Henry Creel arrives and the town’s ordinary worries begin to shift.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, the production uses theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to explore the early story behind Stranger Things. It returns to the beginning of the series’ world and connects that setting with the events to come.

The show has received five-star reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Standard.
