#hey i haven't written an essay length post in a while

friends ! we need to talk about the play

we know that it's supposed to be canon. we know that it "might hold the key to the end" of the show. we know it features several of the adult st characters in their high school years. and we know there will be heavy focus on henry creel. currently, performances are only planned for the phoenix theatre in london -- starting november 17th. not everyone will have the means or opportunity to see the play in person. i know i won't. as of now, there don't seem to be any plans for performances outside of london, or any plans for a digital release or streaming or anything

hopefully, that will change in the future. i assume the super important stuff will be touched on within the final season of the actual show, but making something with canon tie-ins so exclusive still feels wrong to me. that said, fans will be seeing this next month. there will be spoilers available, pretty immediately i imagine. i will probably be talking about the play and these spoilers and what i think it could mean for the show. i love spoilers. i love content. i can't help myself

anything i post will likely be under a read more. if you are avoiding spoilers or you don't care about the play, i will tag everything i post (or reblog) with the first shadow and the first shadow spoilers. if i'm trying to speculate on what it could mean for s5 (or posting about s5 in general), i will tag with s5 and st5 spoilers. i also tag everything potentially spoiler-y with the general spoilers tag. please blacklist or filter out any one of those to avoid such content !

#hey i haven't written an essay length post in a while #here you go #i'm hoping that the sag strike will end soon and that filming could potentially begin before the first performance happens too #so the s5/st5 spoilers tags might be especially relevant #they did meet throughout last week and were supposed to talk things through on both sides this weekend #before meeting again tomorrow so. let's hope things are going well #the first shadow #the first shadow spoilers #s5 #st5 spoilers #spoilers #<---- blacklist or filter any of these to avoid content #lex talks #anyway. we've got st day in about a month and i'm very curious what they could do for it #i feel like they have to do something for the play right #there's less than two weeks between st day and the first performance #but anyway. time feels like it's flying for me personally #all of this is just right around the corner and it's very exciting but also. am nervous #i hope you all are doing well 💖 #i will probably reblog this a few times before the play #and make a separate post for when s5 begins filming + around whenever s5 comes out 👀
