About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana—a town that no one has heard of, where nothing ever happens… until now. Stranger Things: The First Shadow follows young Jim Hopper, struggling to get his car to start; Bob Newby, trying to get someone to take his radio show seriously; and Joyce Maldonado, who just wants to graduate and leave this town far behind. Everything seems normal until new student Henry Creel and his family arrive, casting the first shadow over Hawkins that will alter it for decades to come. Unseen forces and hidden secrets begin to surface, revealing the dark underbelly of this seemingly quiet town.

The London production has collected many rave reviews based on the creative team alone, with journalist Alex Wood writing for WhatsOnStage: “Everything is dialled up to 11 - from Miriam Buether’s unending number of elaborate and meticulously crafted sets, to Paul Arditti’s sound design, utilising effects familiar to fans of the series, to 59 Productions’ effective video design…The director stages the show in same way he would do a musical – with mammoth, tech-laden sequences instead of numbers.”

The dazzling special effects are truly next-level. The story, while a bit all over the place, is fine. There are definitely a few plotlines that could have been tightened. That being said, the runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes didn't feel as bad as I Read more
