About Us
This highly acclaimed musical develops the ancient and distinguished game of chess into a metaphor for romantic rivalries and East-West political intrigue.
The principal pawns form a love triangle: the loutish American Grandmaster, the earnest Russian champion, and the Hungarian- English female chess second, who arrives at the international championships with the American but falls for the Russian.
From Tyrol to Thailand the players, lovers, politicians, CIA and KGB make their moves to the pulse of this monumental rock score.
You will recognise the musical talent of ABBA's Benny and Bjorn, who collaborated with renowned lyricist Sir Tim Race, to bring the story to the stage.
