Dumfries Musical Theatre Company are proud to present: ‘Chess’, showing at the Theatre Royal Dumfries from 13th – 20th May 2023.
Written by musical lyricist Sir Tim Rice, with music by ABBA songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.
This highly acclaimed musical is set around a chess tournament between two grandmasters, one American, the other a Soviet. Between them, apart from a chess board, is a woman who manages one of the men, and who falls in love with the other. From Tyrol to Thailand the players, lovers, politicians, CIA and KGB make their moves to the pulse of this monumental rock score, including international hits such as “One Night in Bangkok” and “I Know Him So Well”.
Our story begins as American grandmaster chess player Freddie Trumper, the current world champion, arrives in Merano for the Chess World Championships. When put to the test by Russian grandmaster Anatoly Sergievsky, it’s more than just chess and pride on the line, as a love triangle develops between the pair and Trumper’s second, Florence.
