‘You might have noticed there are four of me.
Don’t worry. You’ll get used to it. I have.’

A one man show performed by three actors and a drummer.

Welcome to B’s mind. B’s got some memories he wants to share with you. He wants to tell you about how he ended up on a cruise ship, playing chess against the current world chess champion. He wants to tell you all about his life and the choices he’s made. The problem? He’s been split into four and can’t remember what happened.

Rhum and Clay present a tale of madness, memory and chess, adapted from Stefan Zweig’s The Royal Game, accompanied by a live jazz percussive score.
