‘Game of Thrones’ star joins The Spoils Theatre Breaks in London 
There’s a Games of Thrones reunion party going in the West End at the moment as another of its young stars, Alfie Allen, is cast in the Jesse Eisenberg penned comedy The Spoils which is now at the Trafalgar Studios.
No doubt the GoT actor will be hooking up for after show drinks with his on-screen brothers Kit Harrington and Richard Madden who will be appearing at nearby theatres at the same time.
On stage with Allen in the all-star cast of The Spoils Theatre Breaks is Olivier Award winner Katie Brayben, who originated the role of Carole King in the London production of Beautiful, Hollywood actor and playwright, Eisenberg, and The Big Bang Theory’s British born star Kunal Nayyar.
Completing the cast is Sky Atlantic’s Billions star Annapurna Sriram, who appeared alongside Eisenberg and Nayyar when the play ran successfully off-Broadway in 2015.
Written by Eisenberg, the comedy tells the story of Ben, who’ no one likes. Not even Ben likes Ben. He’s a bully and when he discovers his former school crush, Sarah (Brayben), is marrying a straight-laced banker, Ted (Allen), he decides to destroy their relationship and try to win her back.
The role of bullied Ted should come easy to Allen having playing the systematically abused Theon Greyjoy in HBO’s Game Of Thrones and, along with Eisenberg, Nayyar and Sriram, will be making his West End debut.
So it looks like London theatre ‘veteran’, Brayben, who won her Olivier Award in 2015, will have to show the newcomers the ropes when the play opens later this month and runs through to August.
