We bend the knee to this news. On Tuesday, March 30, it was revealed that a stage production based off the Game of Thrones universe is in the works. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the stage adaptation of George R.R. Martin's popular world is being produced by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson alongside Killburn Live.

Game of Thrones may have concluded its story in a divisively pyrrhic fashion, but the franchise wasn’t exactly left in ashes, thanks to a backlog brimming with several spinoff shows supported by creator George R.R. Martin’s purportedly eight-figure, five-year deal recently signed with HBO. However, it appears that the mythology, adapted from Martin’s novels, is set to invade another arena, a Broadway stage, with a Game of Thrones play now in development. Interestingly, rather than rehashing the show, the play will instead showcase a heretofore unseen storyline crucial to the hit TV series.
The Great Tourney at Harrenhal will serve as the backdrop for the gestating Game of Thrones play, which will hail from producers Simon Painter and Tim Lawson (The Illusionists) in partnership with Kilburn Live, according to THR. The production will carry necessary gravitas, since playwright Duncan MacMillan (1984) will work with Martin himself on the story,...

A Game of Thrones stage production is in the early stages of development from producers Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, with the play being written and adapted Duncan MacMillan working alongside author George R.R. Martin. UK director Dominic Cooke is set to direct.
Martin released the following statement:
The seeds of war are often planted in times of peace. Few in Westeros knew the carnage to come when highborn and smallfolk alike gathered at Harrenhal to watch the finest knights of the realm compete in a great tourney, during the Year of the False Spring. It is a tourney oft referred during HBO’s Game of Thrones, and in my novels, A Song of Ice & Fire… and now, at last, we can tell the whole story… on the stage.
An amazing team has been assembled to tell the tale, starting with producers Simon Painter, Tim Lawson and Jonathan Sanford. Their...

First of all, I'm a sucker for magic! Magic is one of my favorite things in the world. So when I hear there is going to be state of the art live magic show inspired by the Now You See Me film franchise, of course I'm going to get excited!
Lionsgate is producing the magic show, which will be called Now You See Me Live, and it will feature its own Four Horsemen! The show is described as "a state-of-the-art magic show with cutting-edge technology, surprise twists, and never-before-seen illusions from some of the greatest magicians in the world."
I really hope that they end up pulling off some spectacular magic! It would be so cool to see the same level stuff that we actually saw in the movies. As for who the four magicians will be, here are the details:
At the center of the show are The Horsemen...
