What Is The Plot?
At the heart of the story are ostentatious American Freddie Trumper (Tveit), passionate Russian Anatoly Sergievsky (Christopher), and Florence Vassy (Michelle), Freddie's strong-willed and long-suffering second. Freddie and Anatoly are set to compete in the World Chess Championships, a match that holds a great deal of political tension for not only US and USSR relations but global politics as a whole. This rock opera is certainly complex as the three pawns become entangled in a love-triangle that jeopardizes the tournament.
