CLOC Musical Theatre will present Chess this October.

An international romantic drama played out against a backdrop of political intrigue and treachery provides the setting for Chess.

Set during the height of the Cold War, two of the world’s greatest chess players are about to battle for the World Championship. They think they are just playing chess, but they both unwittingly find themselves pawns of their own governments’ political manipulations.
