Game Of Thrones to be adapted for theatre by Royal Shakespeare Company
The play reveals a treasonous plot against the Mad King at a banquet and jousting tournament, with performances at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre starting this summer.
- The Royal Shakespeare Company will premiere Game Of Thrones: The Mad King at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon this summer, with priority tickets on sale April 14.
- Inspired by Shakespearean history plays, the RSC chose to mount the adaptation after Duncan Macmillan, playwright, spent years sifting material and consulting George R.R. Martin, the creator, on unrevealed events.
- Set over a decade before the novels, the play unfolds at a lavish banquet on the eve of a Harrenhal jousting tournament where Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen's romance clashes with a treasonous plot against the Mad King, with Ned Stark attending.
- There is chatter the production will transfer into the West End after the Royal Shakespeare Company's summer season, with the Gillian Lynne Theatre floated as a likely venue.
- The RSC aims to satisfy theatre audiences with 'really thrilling big moments,' highlighting the show's Shakespearean scale and appeal to both fans and newcomers, Macmillan and Cooke said.
