Story

Before the world turned upside down. 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.

From Netflix and the multi-award-winning Broadway producer Sonia Friedman Productions comes Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Winner of two Olivier Awards including Best Entertainment, this landmark production is brought to life by an award-winning creative team including director Stephen Daldry (The Crown, Billy Elliot, The Inheritance, The Hours, The Reader) and co-director Justin Martin (Prima Facie, The Inheritance). With stunning special effects, extraordinary performances, and a storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this gripping, stand-alone adventure will take you right back to the beginnings of the Stranger Things story.

Breathtaking technology
"The production value was incredible. It's like you are in the actual show. The story was really great too. The main actors were outstanding. I highly recommend it. For little kids, it's too scary. I'd say 13+ if they are okay watching Stranger Things."

Spectacular piece of Theatre.
"For fans of the Stranger Things Netflix series this is a must see. Even if you've never seen it before it is still essential viewing. Not only is there some singing, dancing, jokes and romance, the show is based around the origins of the supernatural happenings in 1960s USA town of Hawkins. The unique feature of this show, however, are the jaw dropping special effects. I was amazed at how they managed to achieve them in live theatre, and how seamlessly the actors interacted with them. This show us a must see."
