The cat’s out of the bag: George R.R. Martin has announced that Game of Thrones: The Mad King, the new stage play which is completing its premiere run with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon this Saturday, is headed to London in 2027.

GRRM shared the news on his Not a Blog. The official website now confirms that the RSC production will come to London next year, with the venue and performance dates still to be announced. Fans can sign up there for news and priority access to tickets.

George also shared an announcement video, shot at the theater with its rendition of the Iron Throne prominently featured:

I was fortunate enough to see the production during its Stratford run, and those of you who missed it at the time can find our full, spoiler-light review of Game of Thrones: The Mad King in the Westeros.org Features section.

And speaking of mad kings…. we’ll have more from The Mad King, actor Michael Shaeffer, in a interview we’ll be posting tomorrow!
