Stranger Things: The First Shadow
The West End is preparing to welcome you to the Upside Down. This is a deliciously scary new prequel to Stranger Things, the smash hit Netflix T series with more than 1.35 billion hours already viewed around the world. The series won more than 70 awards worldwide and sits at the top of the Netflix Most Popular English TV list. This prequel opens at the Phoenix Theatre in late 2023, the creative team is raring to go, and the cast will be announced closer to the time. The TV series attracted literally dozens of Emmy nominations, including three for Outstanding Drama, a real phenomenon of a story.
Stranger Things is a sci-fi TV series following a gang of teenagers in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, as they discover a weird upside down world of strange creatures. The year is 1959 and this is a normal town with ordinary worries. Or is it? When a new student, Henry Creel, arrives in town with his family, they discover the shadows of the past have a horribly long reach. Kate Trefry, the original Stranger Things writer, has created this prequel, based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Trefry herself. They’re “beyond excited” about Stranger Things: The First Shadow, as are we. Don’t miss it!

Brilliant play - a definite 'must see' I am an avid theatre goer and loved this play. I am a 62 year old female and took my granddaughter for her 16th birthday. I watched all the episodes of Stranger Things with her so this was an excellent present. My overall experience was excellent and would highly recommend this play. The theatre is lovely and all the staff were very friendly

Creative set use and fab acting Very entertaining and quite a few scares. Prob not suitable for under 12s or sensitive teens - bit of swearing, sex talk and some very gruesome bits. Wonderful for everyone else. The cast were brilliant, us (2 adults and our teenage son) were enthralled throughout. We had forgotten lots of the stranger things tv details but it didn’t matter. Most people on their feet clapping at the end, the set design/engineering/effects were unbelievable- was blown away!
