ROCK 'N' ROLL
Tom Stoppard’s newest play looks at revolution, resistance, and, of course, rock 'n' roll.
Tom Stoppard’s newest play
Rock ‘N' Roll spans the recent history of Czechoslovakia between the Prague Spring and the Velvet Revolution but from the double perspective of Prague, where a rock ‘n' roll band comes to symbolise resistance to the Communist regime, and the British left, represented by a Communist philosopher at Cambridge.
Stoppard joins forces with director Trevor Nunn for their first collaboration since the acclaimed production of
The Coast of Utopia in 2002.
