Stranger Things: The First Shadow

About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the Phoenix Theatre is a stage production set in Hawkins in 1959. It returns to the beginning of the Stranger Things story, showing a town with ordinary worries before new student Henry Creel arrives and the shadows of the past begin to reach further than expected.

Young Jim Hopper’s car will not start, Bob Newby’s sister does not take his radio show seriously, and Joyce Maldonado wants to graduate and get out of town. The production is brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team using theatrical storytelling and stagecraft.

It tells an earlier chapter in the Stranger Things world, bringing together the characters and events that shape the story from the start.

Duration: Approx. 3 hrs including an interval.
