“Graeme of Thrones” Game of Thrones Parody Coming February 21st -26th at Westport Playhouse
Don’t have time to binge watch GAME OF THRONES? See the play instead!
The parody GRAEME OF THRONES will be on stage February 21st -26th at The Westport Playhouse (635 Westport Plaza). Ticket information can be found HERE
In this critically-acclaimed theatrical journey through the Seven Kingdoms, direct from sold out shows in London’s West End and Australia, avid ‘Thrones’ fan Graeme just wants to recreate his favourite fantasy saga on stage – aided and abetted by his best friend Paul and the girl he used to fancy at school – Bryony. He doesn’t quite have the same budget as the TV show, or as many cast members, or the performance skill required, but he’s sure George RR Martin would approve – and that’s what matters. But when news reaches them that an influential theatrical producer is in the building, Graeme decides that this could be his big break – as long as nothing goes wrong …
Writer and BAFTA winner Jon Brittain said: “Graeme of Thrones is a parody/farce/show-within-a-show/loving-homage. It’s nice to be in a room where being an anally retentive fanboy is actually a good thing! The team are having a lovely time geeking out and discussing how ridiculous Ser Jorah and Littlefinger’s voices are, how Daenerys really should have double checked there was a no-nudity clause in her contract, and how Jon Snow really is incredibly boring (but so pretty!).”
Created by a team of some of the UK’s top comedy writers, Graeme of Thrones is a wacky and wicked parody on the international phenomenon that is Game Of Thrones.
The Critics love GRAEME OF THRONES! Check out these accolades!:
“A must for any Game of Thrones fan”
Time Out
“Stupidly enjoyable… their comic timing is superb”
The Stage
“An especially over-the-top celebration of bad taste”
Chortle
“This warped incarnation of Westeros gets to the glittering West End”
London Evening Standard
“A roller coaster ride of beheadings, incest and war”
The West Australian
“Game Of Thrones fan boys and girls will want to get tickets… magic on stage”
The Urban List
“Funny, with spot-on gags and lo-fi props that wring so much silliness from George RR Martin’s fantasy adventure… you’ll see the main characters deftly, daftly reimagined. There’s nudity (sort of), dragons (sort of) versions of Joffrey, Ned, Daenerys and Tyrion that get to the nub of their flaws. These are writers and performers who live on the more inventive edge of the comedy scene… they deserve to be cherished.”
★★★★ The Times
“Expect tears of laughter”
★★★★ Gay Times
“There aren’t many shows that once you’ve finished watching, you go straight to the box office to buy tickets to see it again. But Graeme of Thrones is one such show. With a sharp script and ingenious parodies, Graeme of Thrones is an absolute must-see for fans of the books and TV series.”
★★★★★ West End Wilma
See it before the inevitable lawsuit!
