Description
The emergence of the Polgar sisters in the 1970s and 80s rocked the chess world.
In a heavily male dominated game, the three Hungarian girls broke record after record.
The youngest, Judit, was talked of as a potential world champion.
The Chess Girls is the story of their parents, Laszlo and Klara Polgar, and how they defied the Communist authorities to conduct a remarkable educational experiment.
Laszlo Polgar, convinced that any healthy child can be trained to become a genius, set out to prove his theory with his own children.
This is a drama-documentary with excerpts from an interview with Laszlo and Klara Polgar recorded for the play.
The writer, Lavinia Greenlaw, takes their account and re-creates the lives of the young Polgar family in their tiny Budapest flat.
The fictional Laszlo is played by Kerry Shale, and Klara by Sally Orrock.
Director: Chris Ledgard.
