Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard

Proudly sponsored by Peter and Mary Biggs.

Czechs and Thugs and Rock ’N’ Roll . . .

An extraordinary award-winning comedy from four-time Tony winner, Tom Stoppard (Arcadia, Shakespeare in Love).

It's August 1968, and Russian tanks are rolling in to Prague... Jan, the Czech student, lives for rock music, Max, the English professor, lives for Communism, and Esme, the flower child, is high. By 1990, the tanks are rolling out, the Stones are rolling in and idealism has hit the wall.

Stoppard's sweeping and passionate play spans two countries, three generations and 22 turbulent years, at the end of which, love remains — and so does rock ’n’ roll.

Epic in its conception, but focussed through the intimacy of private lives, Rock ‘n’ Roll’s lovingly drawn characters sparkle with all the wit and erudition of Tom Stoppard’s greatest creations.
