1. Chess at the London Coliseum Theatre
A flagship musical in the West End's first grand alarm clock for over 30 years
The musical, written in 1984 by ABBA songwriters Benny Anderson and BjörnUlvaeus, and Tim Rice
(Jesus Christ Superstar, The Lion King, Evita). The play depicts a story of love and political intrigue, in the
context of the Cold War in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in which the superpowers attempted to
manipulate an international Chess Championship at the London coliseum theatre for political purposes.
Two of the biggest chess masters in the world, one American, the other Russian, may become the pawns
of their governments as their battle for the world title begins. At the same time, their lives are confused
by a Hungarian refugee, a remarkable woman who becomes the center of their emotional triangle.
