Get ready for Stranger Things like you’ve never seen before. The stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow officially debuts this month. Now we have a look at the production ahead of its December premiere in London. Until then, check out a behind-the-scenes look at developing the play, images from the production, and more details below.
Here’s the official description of Stranger Things: The First Shadow:
Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.
The First Shadow comes from writer Kate Trefry, based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers (creators of the Stranger Things Netflix series) and Jack Thorne. Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin co-direct the production, which comes from a multi-award-winning creative team.
