The Chess Fight at Summit Rock
Imagine, for a moment, stepping onto the chessboard itself, leaving behind the familiar birds-eye view. Brooklyn Action Theater's inaugural production, "The Chess Fight," invites you to experience a game of chess from an entirely new perspective – the board. This unique piece delves into the dramatic and comedic possibilities of what it would feel like to be one of the pieces in play.
The inspiration for this theatrical exploration sprang from a real-life match between Daniel Howard Fernandez (white) and Gawain C Jones (black) during the 105th Annual British Chess Championships in 2018. As the game unfolded, a compelling narrative emerged, revealing individual character arcs for each piece. This epic encounter on the 64 squares provided a fertile ground for drama, comedy, and, fitting for Brooklyn Action Theater, thrilling opportunities for combat that illuminate the desires and personalities of these animated chess pieces.
