About the event

A Game at Chess
A rehearsed reading of A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton

About this Event

In August 1624 the King's Men received word that their play was being shut down. With characters named after chess pieces and a plot involving real chess moves, writer Thomas Middleton's blistering exposé had lampooned Spain, but also upset the king of England!

Join YSP for a rare opportunity to see a script-in-hand performance of this notorious play. A King will triumph…..but on which side of the board?
