Winner of Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play and Best Set Design at the Olivier Awards 2024
A play based on Netflix sensation television series Stranger Things, STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW is now playing at 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 takes audiences back to the beginning of the Stranger Things TV show story (and may hold the key to the end…)
Guaranteed to have every audience’s worlds turned upside down. Book your STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW theatre tickets with LOVEtheatre today!
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.
Tickets available for performances from 17 Nov 2023 – 31 May 2025. Matinee performances available on Sunday at 3.00pm as well as Friday and Saturday at 1.00pm. Evening performances at 7.00pm Tuesday to Saturday.
