HBO is celebrating 15 years of its popular series this month. Fans won’t have to wait long for more, as a brand-new installment is set to premiere in just three months.
The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced that a new play, Game of Thrones: The Mad King, will be performed at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from July 20 to September 5, 2026. The first official performance will be on August 8, with previews for critics and audiences expected in early July. Tickets will first be available to priority bookers on April 14, and then to the general public on April 22.
Game of Thrones: The Mad King Debuts This Summer
The production featured a talented creative team. Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell directed the puppetry and movement, Chloe Lamford designed the set, Georgie McGuinness created the costumes, Jon Clark handled the lighting, Will Stuart composed the music, Tom Gibbons designed the sound, and Amy Ball was responsible for casting.
Jeannette Nelson will oversee voice and text, and Hazel Holder will coach the actors on dialects. The play has been adapted by Duncan Macmillan and will be directed by Dominic Cooke.
Emily Raymond is the associate director, and Scarlet Wilderink is the associate puppetry and movement director. The team also includes Francesca Roche, who consults on period dance; Ti Mikkel, a creative consultant; Machiko Weston, associate set designer; Alex Berry, associate costume designer; Alex Twiselton, associate sound designer; and Lenore Gallegos, the assistant director.
The Game of Thrones Stage Play Takes Fans Back to Westeros
The Royal Shakespeare Company is excited to announce the creative team and performance dates for Game of Thrones: The Mad King. According to co-artistic directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, the production will feature a talented group of theatre professionals reimagining George R. R. Martin’s world as a stage play.
The Royal Shakespeare Theatre has been redesigned to put audiences right in the middle of the performance. This new setup will fully immerse viewers in the story and create a spectacular, unforgettable experience. It’s a thrilling project, and we’re excited to share it with everyone.
This large-scale play is a prequel to the popular series, and its marketing focuses on the idea that history remembers the best storytellers, not necessarily those who are right. The story takes place in Westeros years before the novels begin, and will feature younger versions of familiar characters like Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon, and Jaime Lannister. Lyanna Stark will also appear in the play.
The world of Game of Thrones continues to grow beyond the original TV series. HBO is currently working on several new projects, and reports indicate that a new movie set in the Game of Thrones universe is also being developed.
Game of Thrones is streaming on HBO Max.
