Stranger Things is headed to the London stage this November, and a teaser has now been released for the new play. Based on the popular Netflix series, the play will take audience members back to the story’s beginning, and it’s been teased that the stage production may hold the key to what happens next in the television series. The play is written by Kate Trefry (above right, with the Duffer brothers) and directed by Stephen Daldry.

The plot of the play, titled Stranger Things: The First Shadow, is as follows:

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.

Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer said the following about the upcoming production:

“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.”

The preview for the stage production is below.

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things will arrive at some point in the future on Netflix. Production has been delayed due to the ongoing writers strike.
