After many, many weeks of working and reworking, I’m pleased to announce that my play is done! I’ve wanted for a while to write a play in the style of Shakespeare’s histories about the First Blackfyre Rebellion, and (many thanks to @warsofasoiaf, @poorquentyn, and @racefortheironthrone, who gave great feedback), I’ve finally done it!
The idea of the play (as you’ll read in the wonderful intro @warsofasoiaf wrote for me) is that this was written during the reign of Maekar I, by a Westerosi, for Westerosi. Of course, like Shakespeare’s own works, it’s biased and choosy with the history. There are definitely invented scenes and characters (partly to fill in the gaps of our knowledge on the First Blackfyre Rebellion, and partly to follow that tradition of “history” plays not exactly being, well, always correct in their history).
I really hope you guys like it. I’ve worked hard to make something for the fandom to enjoy, and I definitely wanted to share it first with you here. Read it, tell me what you think, hell, perform it!
Much love and happy (almost) New Year!
– Nina
