Description

Shakespeare's influence can be seen in the popular Game of Thrones franchise. This connection is largely due to Shakespeare's history plays, which have shaped how the Wars of the Roses are remembered today. In turn, George R.R. Martin drew upon these historical fictions when creating his series. Game of Thrones also responds to Shakespeare's literary strategies and tropes, such as shifting perspectives and metatheater. This book explores these connections in depth, presenting new interviews with the Game of Thrones cast and comparing contextual circumstances of composition. It offers a provocative look at writing and acting for the stage in different eras.
