Interview: 'It's Relentless': Actor Jack Christou on Motivation, Apprehension and Playing Henry Creel in STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW
by Kat Mokrynski - Nov 26, 2025

After nearly a decade, the hit Netflix television series, Stranger Things, will be coming to a close with Season Five. But fear not, fans - there is still the stage version, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, running in the West End. The play is a prequel to the events on screen, showing some of the older characters in high school and exploring the origins of the show’s main villain, Vecna. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Jack Christou, who plays the role of Henry Creel. We discussed what it is like to be part of the stage adaptation of such a popular television series, how he prepared for the role and even what he hopes audiences take away from the show as a whole.
