The Seven Kingdoms were never, uhm, quite like this.

London’s West End hit “Graeme of Thrones,” the wickedly comedic parody of the television series phenomenon “Game of Thrones” is making its way to Chicago this fall.

The story: Avid “Game of Thrones” super fan Graeme, his ex-crush Bryony and best pal Paul, journey through the kingdoms in their unique, low-budget stage production homage to Graeme’s favorite TV series. The stakes are high when the troupe learns a big-time theatrical producer is in the building and they are determined to “show the world how everyone’s favourite sweary fantasy TV series should have been made.”

“Graeme of Thrones” runs Oct. 25-Nov. 13 at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut). Group tickets for 10 or more only are now on sale at (312) 977-1710. Individual tickets will go on sale at a later date. Visit
