A Khaleesi With Her Clothes On

Fun House Theatre and Film had preteens play Stalin. It cast kids in a play by Neil LaBute. They spoofed potty-mouth playwright David Mamet. It’s all been good, clean fun. But we wonder about this Game of Thrones, Junior show opening at Fun House (1301 Custer Road., Plano) at 7:30...

Fun House Theatre and Film had preteens play Stalin. It cast kids in a play by Neil LaBute. They spoofed potty-mouth playwright David Mamet. It’s all been good, clean fun. But we wonder about this Game of Thrones, Junior show opening at Fun House (1301 Custer Road., Plano) at 7:30 p.m. Friday. After all, we’re pretty sure anyone under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited from stepping near a television on Sunday nights. What could Jeff Swearingen possibly mine from George R.R. Martin’s lewd, violent book series? Pie fights, for one. And lots of laughs, for another. Apparently Junior strays from the original in healthy ways, though we hope the poor child playing Joffrey didn’t do much original research into his role. See it through June 28. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. More information is available at funhousetheatreandfilm.com.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 2:30 p.m. Starts: June 20. Continues through June 28, 2014
