Scenes
In one popular scene a fat merchant defecates on the head of the Sealord of Braavos as his gold-and-purple barge passes underneath.[1]
Izembaro loves to give the Sealord's speech from the play, part of which goes, "here the last Titan yet stands, astride the stony shoulders of his brothers."[1]
