The acclaimed Netflix series “Stranger Things” is now being performed as a theater spectacle in London. The creators want to change “the way theater is done”. Succeeds?
On the otherwise dark stage, a white, brightly lit frame appears at the top left and another at the bottom right, containing people in ship uniforms. The upper section shows the bridge, the lower section shows what is happening at the bow. The crew talks about strange signals, the unrest increases, the lights flicker, there are bangs and bangs and crashes, the crew panics, some scream, then they are gone. It is dark in the hall.
