The story shows how his powers begin to grow and how he is controlled by a multidimensional force. At the same time, younger versions of Jim Hopper and Joyce take part in the investigation, while Dr. Martin Brenner from Hawkins National Laboratory studies Henry\u2019s supernatural abilities. The play also links Henry\u2019s past to his father\u2019s military service during World War II.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/64zDRZA2N_I\" title=\"Stranger Things: The First Shadow | Broadway Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/64zDRZA2N_I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The production was written by Kate Trefry, with a story created together with Matt and Ross Duffer and playwright Jack Thorne.
