Previews began November 17 for the world premiere Stranger Things stage play, a prequel to the hit Netflix series. We got our first look at the show last month, but now we have a full set of production shots from the play. See the gallery below. Penned by Kate Trefry and co-directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, the show is playing the Phoenix Theatre in London's West End. Opening night is December 14.

The play, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, explores when Henry Creel first moves into Hawkings, Indiana, in 1959. It follows how Henry became the eventual ruler of the Upside Down. It also features high school versions of Stranger Things characters Jim Hopper, Bob Newby, and Joyce Maldonado. Not much is being revealed about the plot, though we do know the first act is titled "Chapter One: The Girl From Nowhere." Let the fan theories commence.
