A stage adaptation of “Game of Thrones” titled “The Mad King” is set to transfer to London after playing in Stratford-upon-Avon. George R. R. Martin confirms the move and says he had a “splendid time” at the production’s premiere there, adding that the next phase promises to be an exciting journey.
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production, which is described as having sold out in Stratford-upon-Avon, will relocate to London next year, according to announcements from the company and Martin. Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter all report the transfer, with Martin participating in the announcement through his public communications, including written remarks and brief video posts.
While outlets focus on the same core news—the confirmed London transfer—coverage varies in emphasis. Deadline highlights the Royal Shakespeare Company’s sell-out run and notes Martin’s appearance in an Instagram video. Variety foregrounds Martin’s confirmation via messages on his website, and The Hollywood Reporter leads with Martin’s teaser about the “exhilarating journey.”
