Game of Thrones Mad King London transfer 2027

The acclaimed stage production of "Game of Thrones: The Mad King" is set to transfer to London in 2027, following a successful and sold-out run at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. George R.R. Martin, author of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels on which the play is based, announced the move, expressing his enthusiasm for bringing the production to a wider audience. The play, written by Duncan Macmillan and directed by Dominic Cooke, concludes its engagement in Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Martin shared the news of the London transfer via his blog and other platforms, stating, "I had a splendid time in Stratford-upon-Avon for the premiere of Duncan Macmillan and Dominic Cooke's epic new stage production of Game of Thrones The Mad King, and furthermore I'm thrilled to announce that the production will be moving on to London to share the experience with a wider audience." "The Mad King" serves as a prequel, delving into the events that precipitated Robert's Rebellion and the final years of King Aerys II Targaryen's reign.
