George R.R. Martin is adapting Game of Thrones as a Broadway play

The Hollywood Reporter

Martin is developing a live stage spectacular for New York City's Broadway, London's West End and Australia that will bring fan-favorites like Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister back to life while dramatizing a legendary event in Westeros history, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The production, from producers Simon Painter and Tim Lawson with a story by Martin, "includes a particularly unique story element that should be a huge draw for fans: While many prequel projects have been put into development since Thrones concluded in 2019, this will mark the first to bring back several of the most beloved Game of Thrones characters," according to The Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd. "The as-yet-untitled play is set during a pivotal moment in Westeros history, The Great Tourney at Harrenhal, a contest that took place just 16 years before the events in Game of Thrones." According to the official description, “the play will for the first time take audiences deeper behind the scenes of a landmark event that previously was shrouded in mystery,” reads the play’s official description. “Featuring many of the most iconic and well-known characters from the series, the production will boast a story centered around love, vengeance, madness and the dangers of dealing in prophecy, in the process revealing secrets and lies that have only been hinted at until now.”
