Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre Hand Decorated Chess Set with Chess Board

Shakespeare & the Globe Theatre Chess Set with Chess Board by Studio Anne Carlton

This new chess set is about a group of artistes, entertainers and actors living in London in Elizabethan times. The King is William Shakespeare and the Queen, Bishop and Knight are intimate colleagues who enact his works as performers in the Globe Theatre. The pieces abound with allegorical icons from both the written and spoken work. Books, manuscripts, folios and feather quills decorate the chess pieces alongside the swirling fabric curtains of the theatre and the well trodden planks or boards of the stage. The set is unusual in having different pawns for each side, the dark side pawns being characterized by Yorick's skull, representing the dark tragedies of Shakespeare's works, whilst those of the light side being representative of life, fresh flowers, love sonnets and eternal prose.
