Merseyside Meets the Upside Down

Available for over a year

Stranger Things is one of the biggest shows on TV right now, and it's reaching its thrilling conclusion. The first part of the final season dropped on Netflix this week, and if those episodes aren't enough for you, there's also the play in the West End, Stranger Things: The First Shadow. It's not a spin-off or an adaptation; it's a whole new chapter that fits right into the story of the TV show, and it also stars two Merseyside actors. Lauren O'Neil is from Liverpool, and Andy Langtree is from St. Helens, and they're playing Virginia and Victor Creel, the parents of Henry Creel, in a story that gives a bit of an origin to the villainous Vecna, who is causing havoc in the TV show.
