Creature effects
Directed by Stephen Daldry, written by series staff writer Kate Trefry, with the play's story conceived by Trefry, the Duffer Brothers and Jack Thorne. The play made its debut at London's Phoenix Theatre in late 2023, with an additional Broadway transfer to New York in 2025.
“Producing anything suitable for a stage production that runs 8 times a week is a demanding process, these #creature suits and Demogorgon animatronic head were no exception. Thankfully the team we assembled totally delivered and went above and beyond. Huge thank you to the Stitches and Glue extended family of incredible artisans and craft folk.”
