Nymeria is everything. I need this so badly.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the opening night of Primary Trust by Eboni Booth, the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama winner, which concludes the 2025/2026 season at Center Theatre Group’s Mark Taper Forum. It was an incredible way to end the season. The play tells the poignant story of Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker in Cranberry, upstate New York, who faces a crossroads when…

A storytelling work of loneliness and lingering trauma, Primary Trust commits to its sad but challenging material yet never piles on or revels in any misery. It's ultimately an uplifting piece of drama that makes for a real actor's showcase.

In a rather understated way, George R.R. Martin mentioned at Not a Blog that the Game of Thrones spinoff Ten Thousand Ships is back on course.

GRRM was writing about Pulitzer Prize winner Eboni Booth and casually mentioned that she was working on a new pilot for Ten Thousand Ships.

She’s an amazingly talented young playwright, and a joy to work with; when not writing and producing her prize-winning plays on- and off-Broadway, she has been kept busy by me and HBO, working on a new pilot for TEN THOUSAND SHIPS, a GAME OF THRONES spinoff about Nymeria and the Rhoynar. We’re all very excited about this one… though we’re still trying to figure out how we’re going to pay for ten thousand ships, three hundred dragons, and those giant turtles.

If House of the Dragon starts 179 years before S01E01 of Game of Thrones, Ten Thousand Ships begins about 1,000 years before GoT.
