It's set in Hawkins, Indiana, where the events of the Netflix series take place. But it's 1959, 20 years before the events of the series, so we'll meet younger versions of residents Jim Hopper, Joyce Maldonado, Bob Newby, and Henry Creel, who eventually becomes the villainous Vecna. The Duffer Brothers said in a press statement the story would be "on a journey into the past that sets the groundwork for the future of Stranger Things."
Here's the plot preview:
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.
Directed by Stephen Daldry with co-direction by Justin Martin, the show will open in late 2023 at the Phoenix Theatre in London — dates are yet to be released. Netflix is producing, of course, along with Sonia Friedman Productions.
"We are beyond excited about Stranger Things: The First Shadow," said Matt and Ross Duffer in a press statement. "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!”
