**In the books, they sort of straddle the line that Shakespeare must have had in his day: they're lowbrow entertainment which is ''really'' popular with the commoners, but not with the educated upper-crust aristocrats who have higher standards.

**See the "Camello" entry below: apparently, Izembaro wanted his "Ned Stark" to be a TragicVillain in the style of Macbeth, a good man destroyed by ambition - and there are many Shakespearean directors who insist that you're not supposed to be cheering when Macbeth dies.

* TakeThatAudience / TakeThatUs: When they appeared in Season 6, fans and critics heavily debated which of these two tropes they were supposed to be, fundamentally (though they are based on a similar play in the novels). Some thought it was the TV-writers having a "Take That!" moment against criticisms of their adaptation, mocking those who complain about the violence and random nudity in it. Others thought it was a surprisingly frank self-criticism and acknowledgement about times they made mistakes or got adaptation details wrong. The Season 6 Blu-ray commentary reveals that, rather awkwardly, this debate occurred on the production end as well. Apparently, the TV-writers actually considered it to be a "Take That Audience!" by mockingly exaggerating details about the TV show which they felt reviewers were being unjustifiably negative about. When the episode director and his team got the script and filmed it, however, he grew increasingly uncomfortable, because many of these criticisms were very on-the-nose and, in his mind, uncomfortably accurate - i.e. putting too much fart humor in, pointing out that Sansa has few speaking lines (even within Season 6). To everyone in the filming crew, it seemed to rather obviously be a "Take That, Us!" trope. The director grew so uncomfortable with this that he outright went to the writers and told them that the whole thing as written came off as a scathing self-criticism of genuine failings in the TV sereis, ''not'' making fun of "groundless" negative comments about the TV series by its detractors. As he says in the commentary, they didn't really believe him and instead told him to push the parody to even further extremes. Unfortunately, this response [ShapedLikeItself is understandable]: if the TV writers weren't oblivious to genuine problems in their writing (sex, violence, lowbrow humor), they wouldn't have done them in the first place.

* BlackComedy: Their play is filled with {{Flanderization}} and ToiletHumor despite retaining the (supposedly) seriousness of the situations presented.

* ActingForTwo: InUniverse. He plays both Robert Baratheon and Tywinn Lannister.
* ActorSharedBackground: InUniverse. Both he, like both Tywin and Robert, are leaders. Likely also a case of CastTheExpert.
* AdaptationalComicRelief: He portrays Tywin and Robert's death with BlackComedy.
* AdaptationalHeroism: He portrays Tywin as wise and noble.
* AdaptationalWimp: He downplays Robert's prowess when portraying him.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: InUniverse, he took several liberties of what really happened on the first four seasons when writing ''The Bloody Hand''.

* DenserAndWackier: His play's depiction of what really happened in the first four seasons is far less serious than what really happened.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: He's almost like an exaggerated, negative parody of Creator/WilliamShakespeare--only without the eye for great characterization.
* GiftedlyBad: His plays are... not good, but the audience seems to love them anyway.
* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Complains endlessly backstage of how the crowd doesn't appreciate his art.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a huge jerk to Lady Crane offstage.
* LargeHam: InUniverse. His portrayals of Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister are ridiculously over-the-top.
* OddNameOut: If the "Lady" in Lady Crane's name doesn't count, then all his (named) actors' names start with either "B" or "C".
* PetTheDog: He is disgusted that the audience cheered during Ned's execution on his play, suggesting that he ''at least'' has some respect for the real Ned Stark.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Has an inordinately high opinion of himself considering the quality of his work.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Trust me. If my soup didn’t kill you, nothing will."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Essie Davis
An elegant, fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in Izembaro's traveling theater company. She portrays Cersei Lannister in a play named ''"The Bloody Hand"''.
----
* ActorSharedBackground: InUniverse. Both she and Cersei are {{Lady Drunk}}s.
* AdaptationNameChange: Known as Lady ''Stork'' in the books.
* AdaptationalHeroism Her version of Cersei is depicted as a noble and fair queen, in a glaring contrast to [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the real one]].
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She mentions that she keeps falling for terrible men.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Arya suspects that Crane was marked for death by her co-worker Bianca for being a better actress than she is.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Though she is nice to Arya, she has a really nasty side: she used to stab several of her past lovers for infidelity. And after its revealed Bianca tried to have her killed, Crane does ''something '' to her face assuring she will have a hard time finding work as an actress, implying that she had Bianca disfigured.
* CastIncest: InUniverse. She portrays Cersei, but is implied to be married to the actor playing Tyrion. Doubles as RealitySubtext since the real Cersei is infamous for her {{Twincest}}.
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: She was killed by an infamous MurderInc for nursing its former member who was supposed to kill her, and the reason said former member did not do it in the first place is because she saw her in a play and takes a liking on her despite the fact that she's playing one of the supposed killer's most hated person.]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: InUniverse, she is the most loved of the Troupe for being the only one to give a legitimate performance. This is Lampshaded, much to the scorn of her co-stars.
--> '''Izembaro:''' Except her. They all love her!
* HappilyMarried: To Bobono, if their toast to their future children is anything to go by.
* {{Irony}}: Arya takes a liking on her despite her playing one of the person she hates in her life.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: InUniverse. She portrays Cersei, who has a long time affair with [[{{Twincest}} her twin brother]]. She is implied to be married to the actor playing Tyrion, the brother whom Cersei hates.
* JustHereForGodzilla: InUniverse. She's literally the only reason Arya watches her plays. At first it's because to kill her. [[spoiler: She did not do it.]]
* LadyDrunk: She likes to take a nip of wine before and after each play, and the only member of the troupe to drink rum.
* LethalChef: She has many talents, but cooking is not one of them.
* TheMedic: She is a pretty good healer, being able to tend [[spoiler: Arya after she was stabbed by the Waif]]. She got pretty good at it by tending several of her lovers after ''stabbing them herself over arguments''.
* MythologyGag: In the books, a dwarf named Penny recalls having a normal mother, but a dwarf father, both going around performing shows. In the show Lady Crane and Bobono talk about being intimate and having children.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: She tends to Arya after she is wounded by the Waif and tries to offer her a place in the troupe. When the Waif finally finds her, she has Crane horribly butchered for giving aid to Arya and fulfill the original contract that she failed to uphold.]]
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: She is portrayed a lot more positively compared the younger Bianca in their one-sided ([[UnknownRival on the latter's part, at least]]) professional rivalry.
* RealLifeRelative: InUniverse. She is implied to be married to Bobono, who plays [[CastIncest her on-stage brother]].
* RealitySubtext: InUniverse. Since she portrays Cersei, who has a long time affair with [[{{Twincest}} her twin brother Jamie]], it really doesn't seem weird that she's HappilyMarried to the actor playing Tyrion.
* {{Romani}}: Her clothes and appearance is obviously based on a Gypsy.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler: The Waif drapes her disturbingly twisted corpse over a chair and makes sure Arya gets to see her like that.]]
* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: In-universe. While the rest of the play and the actors in it seem to rely on ToiletHumor and bad jokes, Lady Crane actually ''tries'' to pull off a good performance as Cersei. This makes Arya respect her and her fellow actors look down on her as snooty. Inverted in that her performances squarely place her as an exemplar of the RuleOfSeanConnery.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: {{Invoked}} towards Arya. Supposedly, it'll be easier for Arya to kill her despite not being an AssholeVictim since she's playing one of her most hated person in the world. However, her strong acting and decency grows on her. Arya even suggested to show more vulnerability in her next performance, stating that the real Cersei would probably react that way too.
* WomanScorned: She mentions that she has stabbed a few unfaithful lovers in the past.

->'''Played By:''' Leigh Chill
A dwarf mummer from Izembaro's theater troupe. He plays Tyrion Lannister in ''"The Bloody Hand"''.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: To Tyrion Lannister. His depiction is that of a manipulative schemer who forces himself on Sansa Stark, unlike the real one, who was protective of her and tried everything in his power to keep Cersei and Joffrey's cruelty in check.
* CastIncest: InUniverse. He is implied to married to the actress playing his on-stage sister.
* CompositeCharacter: InUniverse, his role as Tyrion combines Littlefinger's role in the betrayal of Ned Stark.
* CriticalResearchFailure: [[invoked]] Either doesn't know or doesn't care that Tyrion only got his disfiguring facial scar in a battle ''after'' Ned Stark was beheaded.
* HappilyMarried: To Lady Crane, if their toast to their future children is anything to go by.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: InUniverse. His implied wife portrays a woman infamous for her [[{{Twincest}} incestuous affair with her twin brother]]. He plays the other brother, the one whom her character hates.
* LovableSexManiac: His real self is just as perverted as his character, though a good deal more friendly and playful.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: InUniverse - The "Tyrion" character he performs is the titular villain of the play, but backstage he's a nice guy chumming around with the other actors including Lady Crane.
* RealLifeRelative: InUniverse. He is implied to be married to Lady Crane, who plays [[CastIncest his on-stage sister]].
* ShoutOut: His portrayal of "Tyrion" in the play evokes ''Theatre/RichardIII'', the [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]] play. One of George R.R. Martin's inspirations for developing Tyrion was wondering if all the Yorkist criticisms about the play are correct, and its portrayal of Richard III as a scheming villain really was just a lot of Lancaster/Tudor propaganda because history was written by the winners. We see this actually unfolding for Tyrion now: the historical narrative is getting distorted and he's being thought of as some sort of Richard III-esque villain. For added bonus, Creator/PeterDinklage has portrayed Richard III on stage.

->'''Played By:''' Eline Powell
An actress from Izembaro's theater troupe who portrays Sansa Stark in ''The Bloody Hand''.
----
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler: While the effects are not seen, its implied Bianca was disfigured by Lady Crane after trying to have her killed.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts friendly behind the stage towards Lady Crane, but in reality, Bianca hired the Faceless Men to kill her so she can take Crane's place.
* CareerEndingInjury: As punishment for putting a hit on her, Lady Crane does "something" to her face that will hinder her from getting any acting gigs in the future.
* CompositeCharacter: Her InUniverse role as Sansa is combined with that of Shae, represented as a poor maiden molested by Tyrion in ''The Bloody Hand.''
* DecompositeCharacter: To Arya Stark; her book counterpart is Mercy, one of the many identities Arya assumes in Braavos, specifically when she has to portray Sansa in the play. In the show, Bianca is a separate character in her own right.
* FacialHorror: Lady Crane says that she did something to her face that will make her unviable to work as an actress.
* GreenEyedMonster: She is jealous of Lady Crane for being a far better actress than she is. Arya figures out that she was the one who hired the Faceless Men to assassinate her. It becomes more apparent in the Purple Wedding's reenactment where Arya spots Bianca glaring with envy towards Crane and attempting to emulate her acting.
* KlingonPromotion: What she was probably trying to achieve. During one of the troupe's performances, Arya takes particular notice of how Bianca mimics Lady Crane's lines backstage, likely in case the role of Cersei ''might'' become vacant in the near future.
* MeaninglessVillainVictory: [[spoiler: The Waif kills Lady Crane but only after Bianca's been outed as a schemer and had her career ruined via disfigurement.]]
* MsFanservice: InUniverse, her role in the play involves her breasts being exposed for the audience's lewd appreciation. Her following scene has her wandering around topless in the backstage.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: She plays the DamselInDistress Sansa in the InUniverse play. In reality, she is the one who hired the Faceless Men to kill Lady Crane out of envy.
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: She is portrayed more negatively compared to the older Ms. Crane in their one-sided ([[UnknownRival on her part, at least]]) professional rivalry.
* UnknownRival: She is jealous of Lady Crane. Lady Crane is oblivious about it until [[spoiler: Arya tells her]].

->'''Played By:''' Rob Callender
An actor from Izembaro's theater troupe who portrays Joffrey Baratheon in ''The Bloody Hand''.
----
* AdaptationalComicRelief: His version of Joffrey is depicted as a noble if not incompetent king. The real one was an infamous tyrant. At least he got the incompetence right.
* ButtMonkey: Aside from portraying TheChewToy for his group's play, his penis has several warts.
* CompositeCharacter: InUniverse, his Joffrey seems to be portrayed as kind-hearted but not a really good ruler--which is more like his brother Tommen, the one currently seeing over the further disintegration of King's Landing.
* TheChewToy: His InUniverse portrayal of Joffrey depicts him as getting slapped in every given chance.
* GroinAttack: His penis has two warts.
* LargeHam: He really goes all out in portraying Joffrey as TheChewToy.
* MaleFrontalNudity: Him checking the warts on his penis is shown in specific detail.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The actor playing Joffrey is not named in the books.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: When Lady Crane hugs him on stage, he gives her a MaleGaze and then subtly {{Squee}}s.

->'''Played By:''' Kevin Eldon
An actor from Izembaro's theater troupe who portrays Eddard Stark in ''The Bloody Hand''.
----
* AdaptationalComicRelief: He portrays Ned Stark as a LaughablyEvil BigBadWannabe.
* AdaptationalVillainy: InUniverse to Ned Stark. His depiction is that of a FalseFriend and TheStarscream to Robert Baratheon, whereas the real Ned was a very loyal friend and a dutiful Hand of the King (HonorBeforeReason aside).
* AdaptationalWimp: His portrayal of Ned Stark is void of the real one's prowess.
* LargeHam: He really goes all out in portraying Ned as a moronic pawn of Tyrion.
* RunningGag: Throwing his costume to assistants. He eventually does the same to Arya, the daughter of the man he's playing.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: [[invoked]] The play's DescendedCreator admits his disgust at the audience for cheering on Ned's execution, suggesting that he intended for Ned to be portrayed as a "foolish TragicVillain corrupted by greed". Never mind the fact the Ned is depicted being a LaughablyEvil BigBadWannabe.

-->''"How many times have you seen this stupid play?"''
A theater troupe who performs ''The Bloody Hand'', a play loosely-based on recent Westerosi events.
----
* AdaptationalComicRelief: Their play is a DenserAndWackier take of everything that has happened on the show in the first four seasons, complete with characters being [[{{Flanderization}} flanderdized]] {{Adaptational Wimp}}s.
* AdaptationalModesty: The unnamed actress playing Margery Tyrell is wearing a very conservative dress, unlike what [[MsFanservice the real one]] usually wears.
* AntagonistTitle: InUniverse. The play's titular ''hand'' refers to both Ned and Tyrion, the Hands of The King who conspired to take TheKingdom for themselves. Overlaps with JobTitle below.
* BlackComedy: Their play is filled with {{Flanderization}} and ToiletHumor despite retaining the (supposedly) seriousness of the situations presented.
* HamAndCheese: InUniverse. The actors, excluding the play's DescendedCreator and [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Lady Crane]], thinks their play is shit but does it anyway.
* JobTitle: InUniverse. The ''Hand'' in their play's title refers to the Hand of the King, the title held by the King of Westeros' NumberTwo. Overlaps with AntagonistTitle above.
* LargeHam: The play is full of over the top acting except for Lady Crane.
* SelfParody: Of ''Game Of Thrones''.
* ToiletHumor: Most of the "humor" in their play revolves around obnoxious farting.
* TroubledProduction: Izembaro is a ControlFreak who CantTakeCriticism while Bianca secretly hates Lady Crane out of envy.
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: InUniverse, their play took several liberties of what really happened on the first four seasons and depicted them as DenserAndWackier.
[[folder:Izembaro]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/RichardEGrant
The master of a troupe of Braavosi actors, and writer of ''The Bloody Hand'', a play loosely-based on recent Westerosi events.
----
* ActingForTwo: InUniverse. He plays both Robert Baratheon and Tywinn Lannister.
* ActorSharedBackground: InUniverse. Both he, like both Tywin and Robert, are leaders. Likely also a case of CastTheExpert.
* AdaptationalComicRelief: He portrays Tywin and Robert's death with BlackComedy.
* AdaptationalHeroism: He portrays Tywin as wise and noble.
* AdaptationalWimp: He downplays Robert's prowess when portraying him.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: InUniverse, he took several liberties of what really happened on the first four seasons when writing ''The Bloody Hand''.
* CantTakeCriticism: He goes off on Lady Crane the instant she suggests the play may not be perfect.
* ChronicallyKilledActor: For playing both Robert and Tywin.
* DescendedCreator: InUniverse. In addition to being both the producer, [[DirectedByCastMember director]] and [[WrittenByCastMember writer]] of his play, he also acts in it.
* DenserAndWackier: His play's depiction of what really happened in the first four seasons is far less serious than what really happened.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: He's almost like an exaggerated, negative parody of Creator/WilliamShakespeare--only without the eye for great characterization.
* GiftedlyBad: His plays are... not good, but the audience seems to love them anyway.
* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Complains endlessly backstage of how the crowd doesn't appreciate his art.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a huge jerk to Lady Crane offstage.
* LargeHam: InUniverse. His portrayals of Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister are ridiculously over-the-top.
* OddNameOut: If the "Lady" in Lady Crane's name doesn't count, then all his (named) actors' names start with either "B" or "C".
* PetTheDog: He is disgusted that the audience cheered during Ned's execution on his play, suggesting that he ''at least'' has some respect for the real Ned Stark.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Has an inordinately high opinion of himself considering the quality of his work.
