George R.R. Martin plans to pull back the curtain — quite literally — on a mysterious piece of Westeros history.
The Great Tourney at Harrenhal — a 10-day-long tournament that involved jousting, archery, axe throwing and other events — took place 16 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Playwright Duncan Macmillan (1984) will pen the story and Dominic Cooke (The Hollow Crown) will direct, with both men working alongside Martin.
The fantasy author is developing a Game of Thrones stage production, which will depict an event mentioned in Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels, but never seen in HBO’s series: The Great Tourney at Harrenhal.
