A Game Of Thrones Play With Ned Stark As Lead Is Reportedly Coming To The West End

The untitled play will be set during a very important moment in the history of Westeros, The Great Tourney at Harrenhal, a contest which took place just 16 years prior to the events in the Game of Thrones series.

It's fair to say The Great Tourney at Harrenhal was a landmark event in Westeros. Held over 10 days, it included lots of intense tournaments of jousting and archery.

We don't know which characters are set to appear in the stage adaption but according to Martin's books, attendees included Robert Baratheon, Ned Stark, Prince Oberyn, Jaime and Cersei Lannister.

Jon Snow's secret parents, Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, also attended. It also happens to be where Rhaegar declared is love for Lyanna and fans will know that this led to the eventual war between the Targaryens and Baratheons.

Once pre-production on the play is completed, it is set to be performed in London's West End, New York's Broadway and a unnamed location in Australia in 2023.

Tyla has reached out to George R.R. Martin's reps for comment.

Now is a great time to be a Game of Thrones fan. Although the show officially wrapped in May 2019 after airing eight seasons on HBO, there are several spin-offs and prequels currently in development.

Production has begun on a spin-off titled House of the Dragon which will air in the US on the HBO Max streaming service.
