Stranger Things: The First Shadow. (London) Review.
Note. Spoilers for season 4 of Stranger Things are ahead (and somewhat inevitable given that the season’s events are directly tied to the premise of the new play being reviewed here.).
With every Stranger Things affiliated project that drops ( especially in the wait between seasons 4 and 5, there is the question of just how ridiculously lavish and expensive the whole thing is going to come…

Here's info on STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW, the new stage show set in the world of the series, coming to the West End later this year.
Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.
Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, who take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension, this gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story – and may hold the key to the end.
Matt and Ross Duffer said: “We are beyond excited about Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Collaborating with the brilliant Stephen Daldry has been nothing short of inspiring, and Kate Trefry has written a play that is at turns surprising, scary, and heartfelt. You will meet endearing new characters, as well as very familiar ones, on a journey into the past that sets the groundwork for the future of Stranger Things. We’re dying to tell you more about the story but won't - it’s more fun to discover it for yourself. Can’t wait to see you nerds in London!”
Sonia Friedman said: “The world and mythology of Stranger Things has enabled a rich and fertile ground for creating an incredible story for the stage. The Duffer Brothers have built a huge global following for good reason, and a world-class creative team has built on their boundless imagination to dream up an unbelievably exciting theatrical event for our audiences. Set within the canon of Stranger Things, this new play opens in London, with the West End hosting the only place in the world to experience this new story – for now. I’m thrilled to reunite with my visionary long-term collaborator Stephen Daldry. Together, with our brilliant Netflix partners, we can’t wait to welcome Stranger Things fans into theatre, and theatregoers into the realm of Stranger Things.”
Greg Lombardo, VP Live Experiences for Netflix said, “Stranger Things has captured the imagination of fans around the world and we are incredibly thrilled to expand this exciting universe with Netflix’s first live stage production. With the creative talents of Matt and Ross Duffer combined with Sonia Friedman and Stephen Daldry, theatregoers will be swept up in a truly epic event worthy of Stranger Things.”
STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW will be directed by Stephen Daldry with co-director Justin Martin, set design by Miriam Buether, costume design by Brigitte Reiffenstuel, lighting design by Jon Clark, sound design by Paul Arditti, illusions design by Jamie Harrison & Chris Fisher, video design by 59 Productions, movement direction by Coral Messam, wigs, hair and make-up design by Campbell Young Associates, casting by Charlotte Sutton CDG, international casting consultancy by Jim Carnahan, Gary Beestone for Gary Beestone Associates is Technical Director, with further creative team members to be announced.

Killing Eve star Jodie Comer claims Broadway as her own in her tour de force performance of Prima Facie, a scalding indictment of the law and its limits opening tonight at the Golden Theatre.
Comer plays Tessa, a young, working class Liverpool woman who has become one of London’s most promising defense lawyers through sheer intelligence and needle-sharp courtroom instincts. Her specialty – perhaps, or perhaps not, foisted upon her by the cynical male superiors who run things in ways Tessa only slowly comprehends – is the defense of men charged with sexual assault.
Tessa’s outwardly compassionate, woman-to-woman cross-examinations of assault victims are no less effective for their sympathetic overtones, perhaps more so. Her probing questions and geiger-counter instincts for finding the hidden bombs that will blow a victim’s story to smithereens make Tessa an invaluable force in the courtroom.
Throughout the early portion of the play, Comer shows us Tessa’s razor skills as she demonstrates the cross-examination techniques (and narrates their finer points simultaneously). We see her take apart a pompous police detective, and a nervous sexual assault victim. Tessa might have fleeting pangs of guilt for the latter, and unbridled glee at dismantling the former, but for the most part she sees her job as just that – a necessary cog in the machinery of justice, with each player in a courtroom’s dramatics assigned a crucial role to make the system play out as fairly as possible. It’s not a perfect system, she knows, but even when it appears horribly unfair, it’s the best we got.
Tessa’s perceptions change, and her well-assembled world crumbles, in a blink. She’s recently become romantically interested in a coworker, a gentle-demeanored fellow attorney. After a shared late night tryst in the office, the two decide to have a proper date, with food and drinks and maybe, or more likely assuredly, a trip back to Tessa’s apartment for more than a nightcap.
Only something begins to go terribly wrong. As they lay in bed, Tessa begins to feel dizzy and queasy, and is soon vomiting in her bathroom. When the coworker carries her back to bed, and despite her protests (she’s feeling gross and ill and suddenly terrified) the man ignores her pleas, pins her down, covers her mouth and violently, painfully rapes her.
Tessa knows from professional experience what will follow, the questions and the insinuations. Unlike the women she has cross-examined, Tessa knows every hidden trap the law has in wait, and yet even she can’t avoid them. Comer recounts this legal horror step-by-step, letting the audience see the withering of self-confidence and increasing panic as days drag into weeks, months and years between the rape and Tessa’s day in court.
Directed with energy and empathy by Justin Martin (The Crown, The Inheritance, the upcoming Stranger Things: The First Shadow), Comer is rarely still – and when she is, there’s purpose behind it – moving office desks and a chair into any number of configurations and uses. (The set is designed by Miriam Buether, as are Tessa’s costumes – mostly lawyerly attire with the sole exception of a garish rose-pink blouse gifted, poignantly, from Tessa’s working-class Liverpool mom.)
When the play (100 minutes, no intermission) enters its latter half and Tessa’s long-in-coming court date arrives, Prima Facie rarely lets us raise our hopes or even, really, challenges our expectations – most of us have been prepared by too many Law & Order: SVUs. The drama is in how Tessa deals with the crumbling of her ideals and the smashing of her self-delusions, and in how Comer can so vividly, indelibly display both.

Contextual Research - Global Discouse and Gender Discussion
Global Discourse
Why do we need to talk about race, culture & displacement?
According to the UN, as of the end of 2019 there were some 79.5m people people living as refugees. They had been forcibly displaced from their homes, forced to flee due to conflict and persecution. This had gone up by nearly 9 million in just 6 months.
The Jungle at Playhouse Theatre:
Set design by Miriam Buether [2018]
We are living in an increasingly complex, culturally hybrid, and diasporic world.
Diaspora is a term which is defined in the Oxford dictionary as meaning:
‘The dispersion or spread of any people from their original homeland’
or
‘people who have spread or been dispersed from their homeland’
Navi Kaur:
Budimom at the Supermarket [2015]
Diversity and inclusivity is a key consideration for designers and creatives today.
At a time of what some accuse as being an ‘obsessed with identity politics’, diversity - or perceived diversity - is important to brands and other organisations who want to be seen as ethical, current, and considerate by today’s increasingly-discerning audiences.
Think about BlackLivesMatter movement.

Patriots
by Peter Morgan
dir. Rupert Goold
2022年7月21日 Almeida
『The Audience』『The Crown』のピーター・モーガンの久々の新作はソ連崩壊後のロシアで頭角を表したオリガルヒにして「キングメーカー」、ボリス・ベレゾフスキーについて。トム・ホランダーがベレゾフスキー、ウィル・キーンがウラディーミル・プーチン、ルーク・サロンがローマン・アブラモビッチ、『ハミルトン』WE版の初代タイトルロールだったジャマール・ウェストマンがアレクサンドル・リトビネンコという超豪華キャスト。
グールドとの仕事が多いMiriam Buetherによるセット。張り出し舞台は十字型になっており、その下にはバースツールが置かれている。舞台上で使用される道具はデスクと椅子のセット程度。背面の中央には扉があり、開くと鏡だったり赤いカーテンが垂らされていたり。アルメイダおなじみのレンガの背面には小さな照明がつけられ、時折まだら状の鮮やかな色に染まる。全体の照明の基調色はナイトクラブのような赤。天井には3つシャンデリアがあり、場面によって下される。向かって右側の背面上部にはガラス張りのブースがあり、TVキャスターや沈み行く原潜クルスクの船員が入る。
会話を積み上げることで物語を進める古典的な内容で、パーティアニマルだったと言われるベレゾフスキーの享楽的な生活は開幕後の象徴的な振り付け以外ではあまり描かれない。彼とプーチン、この二人と、関わる二人の比較的若い男性たちそれぞれにとっての「愛国」とは、というテーマからこのタイトルになったのだと思われるが、その中で語られるロシア人の「国民性」はあまりにも西側からよく語られる型通り（彼らは結局強いリーダーが好きなのだ、など）を外れるものではなく、特に深みを感じさせることはない。セリフも現代の状況から過去との辻褄合わせをしているようなところが所々感じられ、生きたキャラクターの発話には聞こえないこともしばしば。年長の男たちと年少の男たちをつなぐ「クリシャ」、（往々にして反社会的組織で）より強い存在の庇護下にあるという関係性も物語の大きな焦点だが、アブラモビッチとリトビネンコをどちらも真面目で一本気、かつややナイーブなところのあるキャラとして長身でシュッとしたイケメン若手が演じているせいか、出番がそこまで多くないこともありやや描き分けが不十分に見えてしまった。『The Audience』におけるヤング・エリザベスのシーンのようにベレゾフスキーとその恩師の数学者との会話が所々挟まれるのだが、むしろこちらの視点で彼の思想や行動を照射するような描写をもっと見たかった。
とはいえ、禿のカツラを装着したホランダーのベレゾフスキーは大変に魅力的で、この茶目っ気で「お前を出世させてやろう、儲けさせてやろう」と言われればコロリと参ってしまいそうだ。実在の本人のマンネリズムや身体言語をうまく取り入れたキーンのプーチンも、モノマネショウに陥ちるギリギリの劇的効果を挙げている。モーガンといえばふたりの男の間の情念を描くことに定評があるので、この二人の間のもっと濃厚な感情を感じることができればよかったのかもしれない。そしてどうしても、ロシアに通じたジャーナリストの原作をリトビネンコ夫妻のラブストーリーとwho/howdunnitにうまく落とし込んでいた、ほぼ同じ登場人物を扱った『A Very Expensive Poison』と比較してしまう。

The 47th review - Bertie Carvel is brilliant as Donald Trump
Mike Bartlett gives a sense of grandeur to proceedings by writing about Trump's potential 2024 bid for presidency in Shakespearean blank verse, but its message is nothing that the audience hasn't heard before
Painting Trump’s potential bid for a second term of presidency as a Shakespearean historical, Mike Bartlett warns of the dangers to democracy that Trump poses, though it’s nothing the audience don’t already know

“To Kill a Mockingbird” show #795
Broadway may not have known it needed a new version of To Kill a Mockingbird, but Aaron Sorkin has provided one, whether you want it or not. It is near impossible to sit through the new production, adapted from Harper Lee’s novel of the same name, and not see how its themes transcend the giant Shubert Theatre stage to 2019’s political and social climate. By political, I include the judicial branch, and by social I mean racism and gender-based stereotypes. Mr. Sorkin, a titan of the entertainment writing biz, has given much attention to the play’s male protagonist, Atticus Finch, performed with aplomb and full-on commitment by Jeff Daniels. However, when one recalls Lee’s novel, the true star of the story is Scout, Atticus’ young daughter, who tells the story through her eyes. Not just youthful orator, but also a reliable narrator (as far as a child’s interpretation may go), which is rare to come by. By shifting the focus to Atticus’ journey, this new …Mockingbird may have communicated a new ending lesson entirely, whether it meant to or not. It has centered its lessons on the man, not the girl, whether intentional or not. However, it does come away with an affecting warning for those who see it in all its splendor.
(Celia Keenan-Bolger (Scout) and Jeff Daniels (Atticus); Photo credit: Sara Krulwich/The New York Times)
In the sturdy, comforting hands of Ms. Celia Keenan-Bolger, who won a Tony award for her performance, is Scout. Ms. Keenan-Bolger’s childlike demeanor and delivery is endowed with alluring enthusiasm, being a likeable narrator/character from the start. She conveys the most exact emotions Scout feels through the story, whether rooting on her father, seeing the injustices being hurled on Tom Robinson, or engaging in some fun with her brother, Jem, and new friend, Dill. Jeff Daniels, the starry leading man, for whom it’s clear Mr. Sorkin’s script is catered to, nails the comedy that percolates through Atticus’ conversations and pontifications. The famed closing argument monologue is given its due diligence through Mr. Daniels’ effective pauses and rise in cadence rather than hammering the monologue in an elevated fashion as many an Atticus’ are want to do. Atticus, the character is consistent, always knowing what he’ll do next and why he’ll do it; however, the overall impression left by Mr. Daniels’ Tony-nominated performance is a case of presence superseding delivery, leaning more on Bartlett Sher’s staging rather than inflection and vulnerability. However, with Mr. Sorkin penning the story to have Atticus’ journey be the subject at hand, Mr. Daniels does effectively display the growth and regret that burdens Atticus by the end of the play.
(LaTanya Richardson Jackson (Calpurnia) and Jeff Daniels (Atticus); Photo credit: Julia Cervantes)
LaTanya Richardson Jackson delivers a strong Calpurnia, housekeeper and babysitter to the Finch family. Ms. Jackson pairs humor with willful strength opposite Mr. Daniels, and trucks along finely in the building of her frustrations with the Robinson trial. Ms. Richardson’s emotionally driven scene with Ms. Keenan-Bolger is as honestly played as her retort-ridden conversations with Mr. Daniels, culminating in a stirringly juicy performance for Ms. Richardson. The evening of my attendance brought understudies Aubie Merryless and Steven Lee Johnson to the stage as Jem and Dill, respectively. Both actors delivered exceptional performances as narrating aides to Scout, and commentators during the Robinson trial scenes. Both matched Ms. Keenan-Bolger’s energy and commitment in a way that made the three “child” characters a cohesive group of rich narration and acting.
(Erin Wilhelmi (Mayella); Photo credit: Julia Cervantes)
Featured standout performances come from Dakin Matthews as a hilarious, laugh-a-minute Judge Taylor, who effortlessly gets the guffaws with a take or calculated line delivery; a compelling, heart-wrenching Erin Wilhelmi as Mayella; and a well-paced Neal Huff as Link, who garners the necessary sympathy for his story to take hold. Though Frederick Weller made an impression as Bob Ewell, villain of the Robinson trial, he often falls into more of a caricature of Maycomb bumpkin rather than true, human character. Again, being told through the eyes of Scout, it would normally make sense for the villain to be more exaggerated, except that Mr. Weller’s performance is the only one at this calibration, causing it to stand out in a less-than-believable way.
(Jeff Daniels (Atticus) and Gbenga Akinnagbe (Tom); Photo credit: Julia Cervantes)
Miriam Buether’s scenic design sets a classic, Southern tone instantly, and her courtroom is spacious, rustic-looking, and perfectly suited for all the dialogue and action taking place among its benches and stands. Adam Guettel’s score certainly creates the right ambiance throughout the play, but neither adds nor detracts from building tension or elevating the production, rather simply existing to exist. It does, however, feed into my lasting impression of the play. For this production, here before you are three established men all working to bring Harper Lee’s novel to new life. Clashing concepts and executions are bound to be present in the beginning stages, but one would expect those to be fleshed out during rehearsals and previews. However, this To Kill a Mockingbird, while certainly deserving of your ticket money and attention, is written like an episodic drama, but directed like a stage play, and delivered by the cast like a novel. Three mediums colliding into one production can often unsettle an audience trying to rest into the rhythm of the play, figuring out where to focus their attention, and what lines to really hang on to. An iconic novel, with everlasting messages, has become a dramatic look at a lawyer-father’s journey from seemingly perfect man to flawed hero. Is that what Harper Lee would have wanted? Is that what audiences want to see in today’s theatre?
