Romance, drama, espionage, ABBA, and...chess? The 1986 rock musical “Chess” features all of the above and the Murray Head hit “One Night in Bangkok.” The brainchild of Tim Rice and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, a Harvard production directed by Sean P. Bala ’09 will run through Dec. 7 in the Adams House Pool Theatre. The musical adds intrigue to what might seem like just another high-intensity, mind-boggling (or, to some, simply boring) game by using...
