About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the Phoenix Theatre in London takes audiences back to Hawkins in 1959, before the world turned upside down. 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 get out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, the town’s ordinary problems begin to look very different.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, this production uses theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to revisit the beginning of the Stranger Things story. It presents the events that set everything in motion, with the shadow of the past reaching further than the people of Hawkins realise.

Running time: Approx. 3 hrs, including an interval.
