About

About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the Phoenix Theatre takes audiences to Hawkins in 1959, before the world turned upside down. The story follows young Jim Hopper, Bob Newby’s sister, Joyce Maldonado and new student Henry Creel, as familiar small-town worries begin to shift into something darker.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, the production uses theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to return to the beginning of the Stranger Things story. It is a new chapter in the world of the series, set before the events that shaped the story fans know.

The production is described as a new adventure that may hold the key to the end.

Approx. running time: Approx. 3 hrs including an interval.
