Stranger Things A Level Drama Trip

Posted on: 03/11/2025

Blenheim’s A-Level Drama students recently enjoyed an incredible trip to London to see Stranger

Things; The First Shadow at the Phoenix Theatre. This gripping stage production serves as a

prequel to the hit Netflix series, taking audiences back to Hawkins in 1959. With a clever blend of

stunning stagecraft, impressive special effects, and powerful performances, the play explores the

origins of the Stranger Things story — revealing how familiar characters like Jim Hopper and Joyce

Maldonado first encountered the strange and supernatural forces that would later define their

lives.

The students were an absolute credit to the school throughout the evening. Their mature attitude,

enthusiasm for the performance, and insightful discussions afterwards demonstrated both their

passion for theatre and their growing analytical skills. It was a fantastic experience that not only

brought the world of Stranger Things to life but also deepened their appreciation of live

performance and stage production.
