The pawns in this drama form a love triangle: the loutish American chess star, the earnest Russian champion and a Hungarian American female assistant who arrives at the international chess match in Bangkok with the American but, falls for the Russian. From Bangkok to Budapest, the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score that includes One Night in Bangkok and "Heaven Help My Heart.</span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" mce_style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" mce_style="font-size: 12pt;">This concert is dedicated to raising money for Blank Canvas Theatre and celebrating our 6th season!
