House of the Dragon official trailer<\/h3>\n

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Stranger Things: The First Shadow have proven the enduring\u00a0popularity of spin-off stage plays based on Film and TV franchises. So it\u2019s no surprise then that a Game of Thrones theatrical production has been in the works for the last few years.<\/p>\n

According to author George RR Martin, originally the show was going to be called Harrenhal as this prequel to the hit HBO TV series focuses on the Tourney at Harrenhal.<\/p>\n

This was the jousting tournament in which Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was the champion. He chose Lyanna Stark as the new queen of love and beauty by giving her a crown of blue winter roses.<\/p>\n

This was considered scandalous by the Houses of Westeros given that the heir to the Iron Throne was already married to Elia of Dorne, while Lyanna (who he would later marry secretly and have Jon Snow with) was betrothed to Robert Baratheon.<\/p>\n

After the tourney, Rhaegar abducted Lyanna leading to Robert\u2019s Rebellion, the unthroning of the Mad King and the start of A Song of Ice and Fire.<\/p>\n

Martin has previously teased on his blog that he\u2019s \u201cvery excited\u201d about the Game of Thrones stage play, that he\u2019s been working on with a team of Broadway veterans.<\/p>\n

He also teased earlier this year that they may be able to bring the show to the West End, much like how the Stranger Things play opened for previews this November ahead of any potential Broadway transfer.<\/p>\n

Now in his latest blog post, the 75-year-old has confirmed the title of the prequel play and when it\u2019s likely to open, but not exactly where.<\/p>\n
