The flash of steel, as blades meet under a blazing sun. A battle fought over honor ... or money. An enemy well met. A job well done. Good friends. Good times.You'll find all this and more with The Royal Chessmen.
Come back to a time when honor was worth dying for; a princess (or a prince) was a prize worth seeking; and chivalry was far from dead.
The Royal Chessmen is an acting troupe who portrays the life of another time through character interaction, staged combat, and living chess games. From King Arthur's Round Table, to King Henry's wives, to Blackbeard's pirate ship, we span the ages.
