The hit HBO show 'Game of Thrones' continues to shoot for its sixth season, which means calling for more actors to join its growing cast of characters. It was recently reported that Richard E. Grant would have a role in the series, and only a few weeks before that, Ian McShane and Max von Sydow were announced to play important characters in the show.
Watchers on the Wall has just announced that 'Game of Thrones' is currently looking for actors to play members of a theater troupe. The casting call is searching for people who could portray a theater manager, a lead actor, a juvenile lead and a male theatergoer.
These may appear to be minor roles, but the casting call has also caused speculations that the theater troupe will be part of a scene that has not yet appeared in the published 'A Song of Ice and Fire' books.
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
George R.R. Martin has previously unveiled a chapter from 'The Winds of Winter' which he called 'Mercy.' The chapter is from the POV of Arya Stark, who takes on a different name and pretends to be a member of a theater troupe.
So what happens to Arya Stark in 'The Winds of Winter?'
Arya continues to add more names to her list, one of which belongs to Raff the Sweetling. While posing as a performing mummer, she comes across Raff, who is a man-at-arms employed by The Mountain. She seduces him and swiftly kills him before going back to the play.
But will the murder of Raff the Sweetling actually happen in 'Game of Thrones' Season Six?
According to Watchers on the Wall, the death of Raff the Sweetling in 'The Winds of Winter' is almost identical to the murder of Meryn Trant in the 'Game of Thrones' season finale. There are speculations that Raff will not appear in the sixth season, but the travelling theater troupe will be used as a vehicle to bring Arya Stark back to Westeros.
