This amateur production of Chess (UK Version) is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd.

A sensational musical with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, formerly of ABBA, this award winning show features hit songs such as 'I Know Him So Well', 'One Night in Bangkok', 'Anthem' and 'Pity the Child'.

A powerful love story set amid the tensions of a world championship chess match, the Cold War and a frenzied media circus. Two world class chess players, an American and a Russian, fight for supremacy both on the chess board and for the love of the same woman. From Bangkok to Budapest, the players, lovers, politicians and spies all struggle to get the upper hand.
