The supernatural world of Netflix's hugely popular TV show Stranger Things has come to the West End!

The gripping new adventure will transport you right back to the beginning of the story... and may even hold the key to its end.

It's set in small-town Hawkings, Indiana, where Jim Hopper, Bob Newby and Joyce Maldonado are trying to start afresh.

Jim can't get his car to start and Bob's sister rejects his new radio show. Joyce is just dreaming of leaving the town behind. That's when they meet newcomer Henry Creel and discover that the town might be hiding more than meets the eye... and the shadows of the past are not so easily left behind.

Based on Netflix's supernatural TV show

The original show became a cultural phenomenon when it first aired on Netflix in 2016 with its intriguing mix of alternate dimensions, supernatural conspiracies, and terrifying monsters from another realm.

It took its cue from the sci-fi movies of the 1980s, and was much-loved for its nostalgic settings and compelling storylines.

Now you can witness the events that took place before the original adventures, all brought to life by an award-winning team that takes theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension.
