An Age of Wonder and Terror Will Soon be Upon OCC

by Joanna Bruno

"Thrones" fan Graeme and two of his closest friends are bringing their theatrical parody "Graeme of Thrones" to the Jay and Linda Grunin Center stage on April 5, 2017 for an unforgettable show.

Graeme, played by John-Luke Roberts, sets out to recreate his favorite fantasy saga in this critically-acclaimed comedic rendition of "Game of Thrones."

He is aided by his best friend Paul, as well as his old childhood crush, Bryony, in the reenactment of the journey throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

While they might not have the same budget as the original HBO show, or as many cast members, or the performance skills required, Graeme's is still sure George R.R. Martin would approve. 

When news reaches the cast that their might be an influential theatrical producer in the audience, Graeme is convinced this is their big break, so long as nothing goes wrong.

This wacky and wicked parody of the hit television series was created by some of the top comedy writers in the U.K. The theatrical mockery is making just as much of a splash, currently making stops around the globe as it embarks on its world tour. 

"'Graeme of Thrones' is a parody/farce/show-within-a-show/loving-homage. It's nice to be in a room where being an anally retentive fanboy is actually a good thing," writer and BAFTA winner, John Brittain, said. "The team are having a lovely time geeking out and discussing how ridiculous Ser Jorah and Littlefinger's voices are, how Daenery's really should have double checked there was a no-nudity clause in her contract, and how Jon Snow really is incredibly boring - but so pretty!"

The show will be held Wednesday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. with the doors opening at 7 p.m. Ticket prices vary between $28 and $55 depending on seating. Purchase of a $55 seat includes dinner at Tuscan Bistro Bar in Toms River that starts at 5:15 p.m. and ends at 6 p.m. Tickets can be bought at grunincenter.org
