The critically acclaimed ‘Rock Opera' from Tim Rice and the men behind the music of Abba and Mamma Mia comes to Oxford.

Set during the later years of the Cold War, Hungarian refugee Florence is second to the American Chess Champion Freddie Trumper, who is also challenged for his title by Russian Anotoly Siergiesky. Things would be simple if all they did was play chess, but love, politics and intrigue get in the way.

This rollercoaster of a musical will take audiences from Italian mountain towns to the streets of Thailand and beyond. This is Chess as you've never imagined it before.
