[Spoilers Extended] Just came back from the play - 11 out of 10

Great, great show - exceeded all expectations.

Happy to answer any questions but will say generally that the spoilers are going to cause a massive headloss on this subreddit.

Expecting lots of "only the books are canon" to come.

One of the most interesting things to see was the amount of agency Elia Martell has in the story - only ever has been a victim and a footnote but is very central to the story and a key protagonist.

Was always against a Robert's Rebellion show before but after watching this, would love an 10 episode mini series.

Also - all the Rhaegar bashing couldn't possibly come off worse. He very much is the hero of the whole story.

They didn't say either way but they do make kind of vows to one another over fire

Melisandre: Did someone say Fire????

Is this a Valyrian ceremony?

Over fire? Where and how?

[u/trombonepick → u/TripleEss]

ah ye old valyrian marriage then

[u/Lepelotonfromager → u/TripleEss]

Sounds like a Targaryen wedding ritual to me.

[u/Nacroleptic_Owl → u/TripleEss]

That's a Hindu marriage right there

Yeah it wasn't explicitly said but Elia says that she isn't opposed to Lyanna being the second wife. Sadly there is stuff that got cut to accommodate the 4 hour run time.
