...alliances in love, life and politics. With lyrics by Tim Rice and a score by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, Chess was originally inspired by Cold War politics and its effects on the lives of everyday people, played out through the metaphor of Chess. The musical also offers a darker glimpse at the realities we avoid and the stories we invent, while “we go on pretending stories like ours have happy endings.” Through Saturday, April 12. 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, at 8 p.m. on Friday, and at 2 p.m. (April...

There’s the neighbor who rushes out in the middle of the night armed with a gardening implement because she thought she heard a “Negro.” Peter’s elderly billionaire client Mrs. Arness (Joan Plowright) fondly reminisces about Ivy, the unpaid black servant her family employed in her youth. These culture clashes, which provide much of the movie’s humor, have the potential to offend, but shouldn’t. Instead, these scenes highlight Peter?...
