Photo Flash: First Look at Hadley Fraser, Kenneth Lee and More in MIF's THE MACHINE
By: Christina Mancuso Jul. 12, 2013
Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse, Josie Rourke, will direct the world premiere of award-winning writer Matt Charman's new work: The Machine. This new play is based on Grandmaster Garry Kasparov's headline-grabbing 1997 New York chess tournament against Deep Blue, a super-computer developed by technology giant IBM. BroadwayWorld has a first look below!
An international celebrity and the undisputed master of his game, Kasparov came to America for freedom and glory. What he didn't expect to confront was the lifelong dedication of another man, Deep Blue's wunderkind inventor Doctor Hsu. Both geniuses, they staked their reputations on the tournament.
The Machine is commissioned and produced by Manchester International Festival, Donmar Warehouse and Park Avenue Armory.
Tickets £35, £25 (no per ticket booking fee; transaction fee applies). For more information, visit: www.mif.co.uk
