For nearly a decade, the Lannisters, Starks, Baratheons and other noble families of Westeros slugged it out to claim the coveted Iron Throne in HBO’s TV series Game of Thrones (GoT). Based on writer George RR Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice, the fantasy series achieved cult status as we mourned the loss of countless favourite characters, debated fan theories, and let’s admit it, were crushed by that disappointing eighth season. But the games are far from over. Martin is reportedly adapting the story for a stage performance for Broadway, West End and Australia. The play is supposedly set 16 years before the events even took place in the TV series, during a crucial time in Westeros’ history, The Great Tourney at Harrenhal. As GoT lovers celebrate the news, five Mumbai fans tell us about the favourites they would like to see on stage and why. Read on, but don’t blame us for spoilers.
