"Uitstekend ... CHESS verdien selfs 'n derde besoek."
Mariana Malan - Die Burger
"Intelligent and sophisticated ... I highly recommend this
fine piece of musical theatre."
Drummond Marais - Mamba Online JOHANNESBURG, 2008
"A STARK BATTLE OF HEARTS AND MINDS, WRAPPED IN COLD
WAR INTRIGUE AND SERVED WITH ABBA INSPIRATION"
"... blasted with turbo-charged creativity ... this tale of political intrigue and
intellectual warfare is a soaring romance. The edgy aesthetics are underpinned by rock solid performances and impeccable musical direction. It's a great excuse to worship at the shrine of SA musical theatre talent."
Adrienne Sichel - Star TONIGHT!

Schalk Schoombie - Die Beeld
"... revolutionary in form and content ... CHESS is a panorama of erratic behaviour, seduction and promise, a dark cartoon of betrayal. The performances of Gina Shmukler and James Borthwick will leave you spellbound - here your ticket pays for the extraordinary. Director Paul Warwick Griffin savours every political twist and illicit intrigue."
Mary Jordan - Business Day
