Stranger Things is being performed live!

On Tuesday, Netflix revealed that a stage play spinoff will be coming for one of their phenomenally popular series. Later this year, the play, titled Stranger Things: The First Shadow, is anticipated to have its global premiere at the Phoenix Theatre in Landon’s West End.

According to reports, Stranger Things: The First Shadow is “based in mythology” and will center on Henry Creel, alias Vecna, in 1959, when he and his family first relocated to Hawkins, Indiana.

The summary says:

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, the play s synopsis reads. 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.Stephen Daldry – Wikipedia

While one of the show’s writers and co-executive producer Kate Trefry will pen the stage play, the renowned Duffer Brothers will serve as the play’s creative producers. The director is Stephen Daldry.

Fans of Stranger Things who want a fast fix while waiting for season five should look into tickets to London soon because the stage production appears to be canon. In the spring, tickets will go on sale.
