Stranger Things for Strangers

Play staged, they came, 
mostly strangers to the stage,
as first time viewers,
to watch the play -
'Stranger Things: The First Shadow'.
Noisiest crowd I ever heard, 
au naturale, to boot.
They ate popcorn, mumbled throughout,
if bored they left,
if frightened they screamed, 
if spellbound they gasped,
if awestruck they sighed,
if saddened they moaned.
The live stage play 
in Charing Cross Road was
veritably Elizabethan,
with Shakespeare backstage
in the bleachers.
