    A post shared by Stranger Things Netflix (@strangerthingstv)

    This new play by Kate Trefry, a writer and co-executive producer for the TV series of Stranger Things, will be rooted in the mythology and world of the Netflix global phenomenon.

    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.

    Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, who take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft  to a whole new dimension, this gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the  Stranger Things story – and may hold the key to the end.

    Matt and Ross Duffer said: “We are beyond excited about Stranger Things: The First Shadow.  Collaborating with the brilliant Stephen Daldry has been nothing short of inspiring, and Kate Trefry  has written a play that is at turns surprising, scary, and heartfelt. You will meet endearing new  characters, as well as very familiar ones, on a journey into the past that sets the groundwork for the  future of Stranger Things. We’re dying to tell you more about the story but won’t – it’s more fun to  discover it for yourself. Can’t wait to see you nerds in London!”

    Sonia Friedman said: “The world and mythology of Stranger Things has enabled a rich and fertile  ground for creating an incredible story for the stage. The Duffer Brothers have built a huge global  following for good reason, and a world-class creative team has built on their boundless imagination to  dream up an unbelievably exciting theatrical event for our audiences. Set within the canon of Stranger  Things, this new play opens in London, with the West End hosting the only place in the world to  experience this new story – for now. I’m thrilled to reunite with my visionary long-term collaborator  Stephen Daldry. Together, with our brilliant Netflix partners, we can’t wait to welcome Stranger Things fans into theatre, and theatregoers into the realm of Stranger Things.”

    Greg Lombardo, VP Live Experiences for Netflix said, “Stranger Things has captured the imagination  of fans around the world and we are incredibly thrilled to expand this exciting universe with Netflix’s  first live stage production. With the creative talents of Matt and Ross Duffer combined with Sonia  Friedman and Stephen Daldry, theatregoers will be swept up in a truly epic event worthy of Stranger  Things.”

    STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW will be directed by Stephen Daldry with co-director Justin  Martin, set design by Miriam Buether, costume design by Brigitte Reiffenstuel, lighting design by Jon  Clark, sound design by Paul Arditti, illusions design by Jamie Harrison & Chris Fisher, video design by  59 Productions, movement direction by Coral Messam, wigs, hair and make-up design by Campbell  Young Associates, casting by Charlotte Sutton CDG, international casting consultancy by Jim  Carnahan, Gary Beestone for Gary Beestone Associates is Technical Director, with further creative  team members to be announced.

    Further ticket information, on-sale details, performance schedule, full creative team and casting to be announced at a later date. Will you be going? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
