Starring Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor (The Outsiders), John Proctor is the Villain is a bitingly funny and urgent new play that captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism and fury—and discovering that their future is not bound by the past.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow Producer's Picks

Marquis Theater

From Netflix and the multi-award-winning Sonia Friedman Productions comes a theatrical event like no other: Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Winner of two Olivier Awards, this groundbreaking production is brought to life by an acclaimed creative team led by director Stephen Daldry (The Crown) and co-director Justin Martin (Prima Facie).

Featuring breathtaking special effects, unforgettable performances and a heart-pounding story, The First Shadow plunges you deep into the origins of the Stranger Things universe. When new student Henry Creel (Tony nominee Louis McCartney) arrives in the town of Hawkins in 1959, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy—and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.

How did a dead body, a fake love letter and Ian Fleming come together to wrong-foot Hitler? The year is 1943, and right now England is losing the war. Luckily, they're about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that helped win World War II.
