Review: GAME OF THRONES: THE MAD KING, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon
by Clementine Scott - Aug 9, 2026
With some reluctance, longtime fans of Game of Thrones have acknowledged that the novel series that inspired the era-defining HBO fantasy show – George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire – will likely never be finished, and the franchise will be chiefly remembered for its disappointing TV ending. The next best thing, then, is The Mad King, a play that attempts to resolve some of the series’ central mysteries, and put an end to many a heated Reddit debate.

Review: THE TEMPEST, Starring Kenneth Branagh
by Cindy Marcolina - May 31, 2026
Kenneth Branagh has returned to Stratford-upon-Avon to tread the boards of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, where we last saw him 33 years ago as the Prince of Denmark directed by Adrian Noble. This time around, Branagh takes on Shakespeare’s swan song under Richard Eyre. He gets to tick Prospero off his Shakespearean to-do list, and we get to watch another project where the actor-director-writer-producer sticks out like a sore thumb. Eyre struggles to keep Branagh under control.

Review: HENRY V, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 29, 2026
Henry V of England is one of those big roles for an actor. Alfie Enoch follows in the footsteps of Laurence Olivier and Tom Hiddleston as the king who led a battalion of tired and outnumbered soldiers to victory. Excellent performances may save it, but co-artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Tamara Harvey’s take on this history play is unfortunately bland and unfocused. It’s something we’ve seen too many times before.
