Stranger Things is probably the most famous and successful Netflix series. The nostalgic fantasy adventure about a group of children who fight against monsters and dangerous government organizations in the 80s started in 2016. Season 5 will conclude the series soon. But the success has long since been rolled out to other media.
There are various Stranger Things books and Stranger Things games – and soon there will also be a play. Stranger Things: The First Shadow will tell the story of the cursed US town of Hawkins, as announced in 2022. The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting on the Cast, start and plot of the play.

Backstory: This is what the Stranger Things piece is about
The official story of the piece goes like this: Hawkins, 1959: a completely normal town with completely normal worries. Young Jim Hopper’s (Lloyd) car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister doesn’t take his radio show seriously, and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family discovers that starting over isn’t so easy… and that the shadows of the past extend far.
The name Henry Creel might ring a bell. Exactly, you know the character from Stranger Things season 4: He is something like the human form of the villain Vecna. The piece is therefore directly linked to the current plot of the series.

The play Stranger Things: The First Shadow is scheduled to open at London’s Phoenix Theater in the West End on December 14, 2023. So to see it you have to travel to England.
