So as you may or may not know, there is currently a play called The Mad King running at the Royal Shakespeare Company in London, which is set 10 years before GoT and covers The Tourney at Harrenhal through the end of Robert’s Rebellion.

People who have seen it — or who know people who have seen it — have been posting spoilers and they are…. unexpected to say the least. I’ve included screenshots below.

But PLEASE NOTE that it’s not entirely clear whether or not any of this is considered canon! GRRM signed off on the play but he did not write it, so it may or may not be just some shownly’s fantasy GoT prequel, but considering George’s feelings about fanfic….. well, you be the judge…..

How it feels to realize that’s how the light gets in
