The Story
Stranger Things: The First Shadow — London
Phoenix Theatre, Charing Cross Road
Award-nominated
West End spectacular
Stranger Things: The First Shadow is the electrifying stage prequel to the global Netflix phenomenon — and it is unlike any theatre production you have ever seen. Directed by Stephen Daldry, the multi-Olivier and Tony Award-winning director of Billy Elliot the Musical and The Inheritance, it is a spectacular feat of imagination and stagecraft that has left audiences and critics alike utterly stunned.
Set in Hawkins, Indiana in the 1950s — decades before the events of the TV series — The First Shadow explores the origin story of one of the show’s most beloved characters: the world-weary police chief Jim Hopper. Answers to questions fans have long debated are here — along with new mysteries that reach deep into the mythology of the Upside Down.
“Astonishing theatrical spectacle — Stranger Things: The First Shadow is the most ambitious show in the West End.”
The production is a marvel of design and technology, with special effects that draw gasps from the audience at regular intervals. The world of Hawkins and the Upside Down are realised with a level of detail and imagination that exceeds what is possible on screen — only live theatre can do what this show does.
Whether you’re a devoted Stranger Things fan or simply a lover of extraordinary theatre, The First Shadow delivers on every level — thrilling, funny, scary and genuinely moving. Book your tickets today and step into the darkness.
