It’s the Cold War in the early 1980’s. Step into the world of Chess, where political tensions, intrigue and personal ambition collide.

Written by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with lyrics by Tim Rice, Chess tells the story of a complex love triangle between two grandmasters—one American, one Russian—and a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other.

Chess features well known songs such as “One Night in Bangkok,” “I Know Him So Well,” and “Anthem” and combines a stunning score with a story where the protagonists find themselves pawns in a larger game of political manoeuvring and personal gain.

Directed by Anita Adams, and musically directed by Adam Boniface this multiple award winning duo bring you a show that promises to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline and unforgettable music from our live band.
