Earlier this year, fans were thrilled to learn about “Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” a stage play set to hit London’s West End. Set in Hawkins, Indiana, in 1959, this original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Kate Trefry introduces younger versions of beloved characters like Jim Hopper, Joyce Byers, Bob Newby, and Henry Creel
Matt and Ross Duffer expressed their excitement earlier this year to The Hollywood Reporter, stating, “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, a key player in bringing this theatrical event to life, added, “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.”
As fans eagerly await the final season of Stranger Things, the show’s creators, Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, recently revealed that their pitch for the fifth season was an emotional rollercoaster. The end of an era, the culmination of seven years of storytelling, is sure to bring both tears and excitement to viewers.
Stranger Things is expected to return for its highly anticipated final season in 2024. So, until then, prepare for a thrilling Stranger Things Day celebration on November 6th!
