CHESS - it's not all black and white!
The collaborators on 'Chess' are giants of popular music and rock musicals, and they have created a contemporary piece of music theatre that has played to full houses and standing ovations on the West End. Here, the ancient game becomes a metaphor for romantic rivalries, cold war politics and international intrigue.
