Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Nominated for eight WhatsOnStage Awards 2024, including Best New Play, Best Set Design, and Best Casting Direction

A play based on Netflix sensation Stranger Things, STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW is coming to the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End!

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team featuring the Duffer Brothers, Kate Trefry, Jack Thorne, and direction from Stephen Daldry, this Sonia Friedman and Netflix production takes theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new level.

Set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW will take audiences back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story (and may hold the key to the end…)

What is Stranger Things: The First Shadow about?

It’s Hawkins, but not as we know it. Back in 1959 it’s just a regular town with regular worries, especially for the youngsters of the area. Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s radio show won’t take off, and Joyce Maldonado wishes she could take off and get out of town. But when the Creel family and their son Henry arrive in town looking for a fresh start, they find that the shadows of the past have a longer reach than anyone could have known.
