RSC to stage Game of Thrones play with nod to Shakespeare

The bestselling author, whose novels have been turned into a juggernaut TV franchise, said the RSC was the "obvious choice" to put on the play, Game of Thrones: The Mad King, because Shakespeare had been a constant source of inspiration to him. "Not only that: he faced similar challenges in how to put a battle on stage," added Martin. "So we are in good company." The play has been a long time coming: its adapter, Duncan MacMillan, and director, Dominic Cooke, were first announced in 2021 as collaborating on a Game of Thrones project for an unspecified venue. In a statement yesterday, the pair said: "George's storytelling is Shakespearean in its scale and its themes-dynastic struggle, ambition, rebellion, madness, prophecy, ill-fated love.
