The play will depict a pivotal gathering before the events in the novels and the hit TV series.
Game of Thrones is coming to the stage, with a theatre adaptation likely to be a major attraction in the West End and on Broadway.
"The production will boast a story centred around love, vengeance, madness and the dangers of dealing in prophecy, in the process revealing secrets and lies that have only been hinted at until now," a statement said.The stage show, set during a grand jousting tournament that helped set in motion the subsequent events, "ought to be spectacular", Martin said.
"Our dream is to bring Westeros to Broadway, to the West End, to Australia... and eventually, to a stage near you," he added. "One of George's inspirations for the original books was Shakespeare's history plays, so the material lends itself naturally to the theatre," the director said.
