Ahead of “Stranger Things 5,” set to be the final season of the Netflix series, Bloody Disgusting has learned this morning that “Stranger Things” will be taking to the stage in London.
“Stranger Things: The First Shadow” is said to be a “new story live on stage,” and it’s set in Hawkins, 1959. “The First Shadow” takes place “before the world turned upside down.”
Featuring an original story from “Stranger Things” creators The Duffer Brothers, alongside Jack Thorne and Kate Trefry, “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” will be directed by Stephen Daldry, and the live stage show is headed to the Phoenix Theatre in London.
Here’s the official plot synopsis…
“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.”
Head over to the UK show’s official website to learn more.
