Cathryn Short

Cathryn is delighted to be playing the role of Florence in Bromley Players’ production of ‘Chess’ at the Bob Hope Theatre, Eltham from 25th April – 28th April 2012.

This fantastic musical by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (of ABBA) and Sir Tim Rice involves 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.  It is set 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.
