SET against the backdrop of the Cold War, Chess The Musical focuses on an American and a Soviet grandmaster who fight not just on the board but also for a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other.
As East meets West on the chess board the question is who will win the ultimate battle, the arrogant American or the intense Russian champion who plans to defect?
But is the game of chess really what is being played in the politically driven, Cold War era, or are they merely pawns in a bigger game?
