In one of the most exciting theatre announcements of the year, a stage spin-off of hit Netflix sci-fi series Stranger Things is coming to the West End. Set decades before the 80s TV show in 1959, Stranger Things: The First Shadow follows the youthful years of the show's chief adults: Jim Hopper, Joyce Maldonado and Bob Newby. The action unfolds in the series' fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, and we've a feeling all the troubles of the Upside Down won't be far away.
The play comes from scriptwriting pedigree, with Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers working with show writer Kate Trefry and the ever busy Jack Thorne (The Motive and the Cue, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) to give it a fresh life on stage.
The show is due to open at the Phoenix Theatre later on this year. For now? Get brushing up on your knowledge of Demogorgons, Vecna and all that happens in the Upside Down.
