“#’Game<\/a> of Thrones’ prequel play in the works for Broadway<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Winter is coming \u2026 to Broadway.<\/p>\n

\u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d which saw a controversial end to its run in 2019 and has several spinoff shows in the works at HBO, is getting the Broadway<\/a> treatment.<\/p>\n

The play will be a prequel story, reportedly centered around the Great Tourney at Harrenhal \u2014 which took place 16 years before the events of \u201cGame of Thrones.\u201d <\/p>\n

This means that, unlike the spinoff shows that have been announced \u2014 such as \u201cHouse of the Dragon,\u201d about Targaryen ancestors centuries ago \u2014 this play is close enough to the \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d timeline for beloved characters from the show to app<\/a>ear. Jaime Lannister in all his swaggering glory plays a key role in this competition, as does Ned Stark and Jon Snow\u2019s parents, Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark.<\/p>\n

In fact, several crucial scandals and mysteries of \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d take place at this tourney. <\/p>\n

Snow\u2019s dad \u2014 and Daenerys\u2019 older brother \u2014 Rhaegar infamously crowned Lyanna the Queen of Love and Beauty, presenting her with blue winter roses. This was a huge scandal that reverberated through Westeros, since Lyanna was betrothed to Robert Baratheon at the time, while Rhaegar was married to Elia of Dorne. It\u2019s a key event in the timeline of \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d because it essentially sparks the conflict of the show: Rhaegar and Lyanna run away together to secretly marry, causing a furious Robert to wage a war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Characters such as Arya, Sansa and Daenerys are too young to appear in the play, but the Lannisters and older Starks and Targaryens are all fair game.\u00a0It\u2019s unlikely that any of the show\u2019s actors could resume their roles, since Jaime Lannister is a teenager during this time \u2014 and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, while a dashing silver fox at 50, can\u2019t pass as a teen. So expect new actors playing beloved fan-favorite characters. <\/p>\n

This tourney, held over 10 days, also sees the participation of a mysterious knight known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree. According to how the festival is recalled on \u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d King Aerys is unsuccessful in trying to unmask the knight and figure out his identity. If the play fleshes out the story beyond what was revealed on the show, it could name the knight and solve a long-simmering mystery in the series<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe seeds of war are often planted in times of peace,\u201d George R.R. Martin said in a press release about the play. \u201cFew in Westeros knew the carnage to come when highborn and smallfolk alike gathered at Harrenhal to watch the finest knights of the realm compete in a great tourney, during the Year of the False Spring. It is a tourney oft referred during HBO\u2019s \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019 and in my [series of books] \u2018A Song of Ice and Fire\u2019 \u2026 and now, at last, we can tell the whole story \u2026 on the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin has not yet announced a publication date for \u201cThe Winds of Winter,\u201d the planned sixth novel in the series, or the planned final novel, \u201cA Dream of Spring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working alongside Martin, the play is being written and adapted by playwright Duncan Macmillan and helmed by acclaimed UK director Dominic Cooke. No casting has been announced yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The play is expected to launch in 2023 in New York City, London\u2019s West End and Australia.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
