7!Izembaro's Theatre Troupe
8
9->''"How many times have you seen this stupid play?"''
10
11A theater troupe who performs ''The Bloody Hand'', a play loosely-based on recent Westerosi events.
12----
13[[foldercontrol]]
14
15[[folder:In General]]
16* AdaptationalModesty: The unnamed actress playing Margery Tyrell is wearing a very conservative dress, unlike what [[MsFanservice the real one]] usually wears.
17* AdaptedOut: Several characters are omitted in their play due to it being a CompressedAdaptation of the show's first four seasons.
18* AerithAndBob: Only the female actors don't have fantastic sounding names.
19* AntagonistTitle: InUniverse. The play's titular ''hand'' refers to both Ned and Tyrion, the Hands of The King who conspired to take the kingdom for themselves. Overlaps with JobTitle below.
20* ArtisticLicenseHistory: An InUniverse example. ''The Bloody Hand'' is not concerned with accurately portraying the War of the Five Kings. Instead, it opts for a loose interpretation of the conflict.
21* BlackComedy: Their play is filled with {{Flanderization}} and ToiletHumor despite retaining the (supposedly) seriousness of the situations presented.
22* CompressedAdaptation: The play squeezes in its plot about four seasons worth of stories.
23* DemotedToExtra: The play reduces several characters' importance. Notably, "Margery" only appeared in the Purple Wedding, "Sansa" is reduced to a MsFanservice LivingProp following Ned's execution, and Tywin only turns up for his death scene.
24* DisownedAdaptation: InUniverse. Arya did not like her family's portrayal in the play.
25* DudeNotFunny: ZigZagged regarding Arya. She's not fond of how her family is depicted but is visibly amused at the depiction of other characters.
26* HamAndCheese: InUniverse. The actors, excluding the play's DescendedCreator and [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Lady Crane]], thinks their play is shit but does it anyway.
27* HostilityOnTheSet: InUniverse. Bianca is secretly plotting to have Lady Crane killed so she could take the lead actress spot. Izembaro is also a very PrimaDonnaDirector.
28* 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.
29* PutOnABus: Last heard going off to Pentos.
30* RhymesOnADime: All the lines of ''The Bloody Hand'' are written in rhyme, much like [[ShowWithinAShow the in-universe play]] in ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''.
31* SelfParody: Of ''Game Of Thrones''.
32* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: There are no dressing rooms backstage and everybody freely walks about naked.
33* TakeThatAudience: When they appeared in Season 6, fans and critics heavily debated whether it was this or TakeThatUs, fundamentally (though they are based on a similar play in the novels). Some thought it was the 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 acknowledgment 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 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 series, ''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.
34* ToiletHumor: Most of the "humor" in their play revolves around obnoxious farting.
35* TroubledProduction: Izembaro is a ControlFreak who CantTakeCriticism while Bianca secretly hates Lady Crane out of envy. And the last time they're shown, they lost two main cast members in two different (but related) violent instances.
36* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: InUniverse, their play took several liberties of what really happened on the first four seasons and depicted them as DenserAndWackier.

43!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/RichardEGrant
44
45The master of a troupe of Braavosi actors, and writer of ''The Bloody Hand'', a play loosely-based on recent Westerosi events.
46----
47* ActingForTwo: InUniverse. He plays both Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister.
48* ActorSharedBackground: InUniverse. He, like both Tywin and Robert, is a leader. Likely also a case of CastTheExpert.
49* AdaptationalComicRelief: He portrays Tywin and Robert's death with BlackComedy.
50* AdaptationalHeroism: He portrays Tywin as wise and noble.
51* AdaptationalWimp: He downplays Robert's prowess when portraying him.
52* ArtisticLicenseHistory: InUniverse, he took several liberties of what really happened on the first four seasons when writing ''The Bloody Hand''.
53* CantTakeCriticism: He goes off on Lady Crane the instant she suggests the play may not be perfect.
54* ChronicallyKilledActor: For playing both Robert and Tywin.
55* DeathByAdaptation: His InUniverse portrayal of Robert Baratheon dies only minutes after his fateful encounter with the wild boar. The real Robert was able to hang on for at least a day before passing.
56* DescendedCreator: InUniverse. In addition to being the producer, {{direct|edByCastMember}}or and {{writ|tenByCastMember}}er of his play, he also acts in it.
57* DodgyToupee: His Tywin wig (pictured here) is the most conspicuous and least accurate of the wigs used in the play, and looks nothing like the real Tywin's thinning, receding hair.
58* FantasyCounterpartCulture: He's almost like an exaggerated, negative parody of Creator/WilliamShakespeare--only without the eye for great characterization.
59* GiftedlyBad: His plays are... not good, but the audience seems to love them anyway.
60** 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.
61* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Complains endlessly backstage of how the crowd doesn't appreciate his art.
62* {{Jerkass}}: He's a huge jerk to Lady Crane offstage.
63* KilledMidSentence: His Tywin.
64-->''"Beast! You beast! You killed my wife and now you've taken your father's life. No worse child has stained this land. Curse the day I named you..."'' (dies before saying Hand)
65* LargeHam: InUniverse. His portrayals of Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister are ridiculously over-the-top.
66* OddNameOut: If the "Lady" in Lady Crane's name doesn't count, then all his (named) actors' names start with either "B" or "C".
67* 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. Apparently, Izembaro wanted his "Ned Stark" to be a TragicVillain in the style of ''Theatre/{{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.
68* PrimaDonnaDirector: He is very overbearing, hard to please and has high standards over his work.
69* SmallNameBigEgo: Has an inordinately high opinion of himself considering the quality of his work.

75[[caption-width-right:300:''"I do what I can with what I'm given."'']]
76!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/EssieDavis
77
78An elegant, fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in Izembaro's traveling theater company. She portrays Cersei Lannister in a play named ''"The Bloody Hand"''.
79----
80* AbledInTheAdaptation: Her portrayal of Cersei lacks any form of mental illness and disorder.
81* TheAce: Clearly the troupe's best performer.
82* ActorSharedBackground: InUniverse. Both she and Cersei are {{Lady Drunk}}s.
83* AdaptationNameChange: Known as Lady ''Stork'' in the books.
84* AdaptationalCurves: Downplayed, but she's slightly more well-endowed than [[Creator/LenaHeadey the real Cersei]].
85* AdaptationalHeroism: Her version of Cersei is depicted as a noble and fair queen.
86* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She mentions that she keeps falling for terrible men.
87* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Arya suspects that Crane was marked for death by her co-worker Bianca for being a better actress than she is.
88* BadassesWearBandanas: She wears a red bandana and is both her troupe's best actress and a person who will kick anyone who kicks her harder.
89* 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 disfigured her.
90* 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}}. Additionally, the actor playing her son visibly {{Squee}}s on-stage when she [[DiedInYourArmsTonight cradles]] him.
91* CreatorPreferredAdaptation: InUniverse. Arya definitely likes her version of Cersei ''far more'' than the real one. She even suggested to Lady Crane to show more vulnerability.
92* CruelAndUnusualDeath: She somehow gets stabbed into a stool in a particularly grisly (and anatomically inaccurate) death.
93* DeathByIrony: 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.
94* 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.
95--> '''Izembaro:''' Except her. They all love her!
96* HappilyMarried: To Bobono, if their toast to their future children is anything to go by.
97* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She likes to take a nip of wine before and after each play, and the only member of the troupe to drink rum.
98* {{Irony}}: Arya takes a liking on her despite her playing one of the person she hates in her life.
99* 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.
100* JumpedAtTheCall: She became an actress after seeing only one performance.
101* JustHereForGodzilla: InUniverse. She's literally the only reason Arya watches her plays. At first it's because to kill her. She did not do it.
102* LethalChef: She has many talents, but cooking is not one of them.
103* TheMedic: She is a pretty good healer, being able to tend 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''.
104* MythologyGag
105** 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.
106** There is a House Crane from the Reach.
107* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: 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.
108* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She got her revenge on Bianca for putting a hit on her, though it's not shown onscreen.
109* 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, being the veteran actress just doing her job compared to the latter's GreenEyedMonster.
110* RealLifeRelative: InUniverse. She is implied to be married to Bobono, who plays [[CastIncest her on-stage brother]].
111* 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.
112* 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 dramatic 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 SugarWiki/RuleOfSeanConnery.
113* 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.
114* WomanScorned: She mentions that she has stabbed a few unfaithful lovers in the past.

121!!!'''Played By:''' Leigh Chill
122
123A dwarf mummer from Izembaro's theater troupe. He plays Tyrion Lannister in ''"The Bloody Hand"''.
124----
125* ActorSharedBackground: InUniverse. Both he and Tyrion have Dwarfism.
126* AdaptationalUgliness: His portrayal of Tyrion is already scarred during the events of Season 1.
127* 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.
128* TheBadGuyWins: The play ends with "Tyrion" escaping Westeros after killing Tywin.
129* BigBad: His version of Tyrion serves as this in ''The Bloody Hand''.
130* CastIncest: InUniverse. He is implied to married to the actress playing his on-stage sister.
131* ChivalrousPervert: His real self is just as perverted as his character, though a good deal more friendly and playful.
132* CompositeCharacter: InUniverse, his role as Tyrion combines Littlefinger's role in the betrayal of Ned Stark. He also acts as Robert's cupbearer instead of Lancel.
133* DastardlyWhiplash: His version of Tyrion has shades of this as a stereotypical pantomime villain, with a generally hammy and over-the-top nasally delivery and ObviouslyEvil hooked (prosthetic) nose.
134* DepravedDwarf: Lady Crane toasts Bobono's 'dirty mind'. He plays the trope straight on stage, forcibly stripping Play Sansa, then [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil dragging her off to his bedchamber]] before they're even married.
135* EngineeredHeroics: As Tyrion, he "helps" save the realm by holding Ned at knifepoint after convincing him to try to overthrow Joffrey.
136* HappilyMarried: To Lady Crane, if their toast to their future children is anything to go by.
137* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: InUniverse, the ShowWithinAShow he stars in is obvious Pro-Lannister propaganda where Tyrion is portrayed as a cackling, depraved sex-crazed CardCarryingVillain with odious designs on Sansa Stark.
138* 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.
139* LargeHam: His [[EvilIsHammy portrayal of Tyrion]] is something of a Westerosi DastardlyWhiplash.
140* 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.
141* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In his final villain monologue, Play Tyrion declares he will cross the Narrow Sea to do more treachery, this time to the audience. "Fear me!" ''(exit with EvilLaugh)''
142* RealLifeRelative: InUniverse. He is implied to be married to Lady Crane, who plays [[CastIncest his on-stage sister]].
143* RegentForLife: Play Tyrion uses his father's wealth to appoint himself Hand For Life.
144* VillainProtagonist: His portrayal of "Tyrion" 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 as a villain really was just a lot of Lancaster/Tudor propaganda because history was WrittenByTheWinners. We see this actually unfolding for Tyrion now: the historical narrative is getting distorted and he's being thought of as some sort of villain. For added bonus, Creator/PeterDinklage has portrayed Richard III on stage.
145* VocalDissonance: Rather than the real Tyrion's smooth baritone, Bobono has a high-pitched voice like some people with dwarfism in RealLife.

152!!!'''Played By:''' Eline Powell
153
154An actress who portrays Sansa Stark in ''The Bloody Hand''. She's also been sleeping with Izembaro.
155----
156* AdaptationalCurves: InUniverse. Eline Powell is notably more stacked than Creator/SophieTurner.
157* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: AvertedTrope. While the effects are not seen, it's implied Bianca was disfigured by Lady Crane after trying to have her killed.
158* 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.
159* 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.
160* CastingCouch: Implied. When Izembaro is complaining about her performance, she gripes that he wasn't complaining the previous night.
161* CompositeCharacter: Her InUniverse role as Sansa is combined with that of Shae, represented as a poor maiden molested by Tyrion in ''The Bloody Hand.''
162* 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.
163* FacialHorror: Lady Crane says that she did something to her face that will make her unable to work as an actress.
164* 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.
165* HotterAndSexier: Her InUniverse portrayal of Sansa is heavily sexualized.
166* 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.
167* MeaninglessVillainVictory: The Waif kills Lady Crane but only after Bianca's been outed as a schemer and had her career ruined via disfigurement.
168* 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. Deconstructed since Bianca resents the only purpose of her role to provide {{Fanservice}}, so she arranges the Faceless Men to get rid of Lady Crane so she could take her place. When Lady Crane finds that out, she apparently disfigured Bianca's face so badly she probably won't even be able to go back to her old role, let alone have any advanced acting prospects.
169* 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.
170* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: She is portrayed more negatively compared to the older Ms. Crane in their one-sided ([[UnknownRival on her part, at least]]) professional rivalry, being the GreenEyedMonster towards her much more experienced colleague.
171* UnknownRival: She is jealous of Lady Crane. Lady Crane is oblivious about it until Arya tells her.

178!!!'''Played By:''' Rob Callender
179
180An actor from Izembaro's theater troupe who portrays Joffrey Baratheon in ''The Bloody Hand''.
181----
182* AbledInTheAdaptation: His portrayal of Joffrey lacks any form of mental illness and disorder.
183* AdaptationalBadass: His Joffrey slapped away Ned Stark from his throne.
184* AdaptationalComicRelief: His version of Joffrey is depicted as a noble but incompetent king. The real one was an infamous tyrant, though at least he got the incompetence right.
185* AdaptationalHeroism: He portrayed Joffrey as a benevolent person.
186* ButtMonkey: Aside from portraying TheChewToy for his group's play, his penis has several warts.
187* CatharsisFactor: InUniverse. Since Arya missed out on killing the real Joffrey, seeing an adaptation of him die gave a huge smile on her face. The AdaptationalComicRelief probably also helped.
188* TheChewToy: His InUniverse portrayal of Joffrey depicts him as getting slapped in every given chance.
189* 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 seeing over the further disintegration of King's Landing during the time of the play.
190* GroinAttack: He laments over his penis having two warts.
191* LargeHam: He really goes all out in portraying Joffrey as TheChewToy.
192* LikesOlderWomen: Implied. He {{Squee}}s when he's [[ThanksForTheMammaries being cradled]] by Lady Crane but a much younger [[MsFanservice Bianca]] wandering topless backstage doesn't seem to catch his attention (then again, he's busy with the two warts on his penis during that time).
193* MaleFrontalNudity: Him checking the warts on his penis is shown in specific detail.
194* NamedByTheAdaptation: The actor playing Joffrey is not named in the books.
195* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion
196-->''"Good people you can all relax. My father's friend shall be spared the..."'' (ax)
197* ThanksForTheMammaries: When Lady Crane hugs him on stage, he gives her a MaleGaze and then subtly {{Squee}}s.

204!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/KevinEldon
205
206An actor from Izembaro's theater troupe who portrays Eddard Stark in ''The Bloody Hand''.
207----
208* AbledInTheAdaptation: His portrayal of Ned lacks the real one's leg injury during his final days, likely due to the skirmish with Jaime Lannister and his {{Mook}}s being AdaptedOut in the play.
209* AdaptationalComicRelief: He portrays Ned Stark as a LaughablyEvil BigBadWannabe.
210* AdaptationalDumbass: Tries to take the throne because he has no idea what "line of succession" means.
211* AdaptationalUgliness: The real Ned Stark is conventionally more good looking than his portrayal.
212* 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) who got betrayed and framed.
213* AdaptationalWimp: His portrayal of Ned Stark is void of the real one's prowess.
214* DiscOneFinalBoss: While his portrayal of Ned and the play's version of Tyrion started as a BigBadDuumvirate, his Ned ultimately becomes an UnwittingPawn and is killed early, allowing "Tyrion" to be the play's true BigBad.
215* LargeHam: He really goes all out in portraying Ned as a moronic pawn of Tyrion.
216* ReallyGetsAround: Plays up Ned's infidelity by scratching his crotch in his first appearance. Of course, [[ItWasHisSled the real Ned was never unfaithful.]]
217* RunningGag: Throwing his costume to Arya, the daughter of the man he's playing.
218* 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.
219* VocalDissonance: Rather than the real Ned's low voice, Camello has a more high-pitched voice.
