Bootless Presents CHESS IN CONCERT This Weekend
By: BWW News Desk
Bootless presents a production of Chess in Concert, this weekend, April 17-18 at 8pm.
A romantic triangle between two top chess players, an American and a Russian, in a world chess championship, and a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other; all in the context of a Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union, during which both countries wanted to win international chess tournaments for propaganda purposes. Although the protagonists were not intended to represent any specific individuals, the character of the American was loosely based on chess Grandmaster, Bobby Fischer, while elements of the story may have been inspired by the chess careers of Russian Grandmasters, Victor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov.
Chess in Concert is presented as Bootless' Annual Artist Fundraiser. All profits from this event directly support our Artist Fund. Your support enables Bootless to increase the stipends paid to our wonderfully talented collective of emerging artists.
