dbo:abstract
  • A Game at Chess is a comic satirical play by Thomas Middleton, first staged in August 1624 by the King's Men at the Globe Theatre. The play is notable for its political content, dramatizing a conflict between Spain and England. The plot takes the form of a chess match, and the play includes some genuine chess moves. Instead of personal names, the characters are known as the White Knight, the Black King, and so forth. Yet the play unmistakably alludes to Anglo-Spanish diplomacy under King James, especially the failed marriage negotiation between Prince Charles and the Spanish Infanta Maria Anna of Spain. The play is satirical of King James I of England, and it was shut down after only nine days. (en)

  • A Game at Chess é uma peça cômica satírica de Thomas Middleton, encenada pela primeira vez em agosto de 1624 pelos King's Men no Globe Theatre. A peça é notável por seu conteúdo político, dramatizando um conflito entre Espanha e Inglaterra. O enredo assume a forma de uma partida de xadrez, e o jogo inclui alguns movimentos de xadrez genuínos. Em vez de nomes pessoais, os personagens são conhecidos como o Cavaleiro Branco, o Rei Negro e assim por diante. No entanto, a peça alude inequivocamente à diplomacia anglo-espanhola sob o rei Jaime, especialmente a fracassada negociação de casamento entre o príncipe Carlos e a infanta espanhola Maria Ana de Espanha. A peça é satírica do rei Jaime I da Inglaterra e foi encerrada após apenas nove dias. (pt)
