Overview
“One of the great political plays in the English language.”—Sunday Times (UK)
It is 1968,
and the world is ablaze with rebellion. Clutching his prized collection of rock
albums, Jan, a Cambridge graduate student, returns to his homeland of
Czechoslovakia just as Soviet tanks roll into Prague. When security forces
tighten their grip on artistic expression, Jan is inexorably drawn toward a
dangerous act of dissent. Back in England, Jan’s volcanic mentor Max, a
communist Marxist, faces a crisis of his own as his cancer-stricken wife
Eleanor, and then his free-spirited daughter Esme, witness the breakdown of his
ideals. Winner of the Evening Standard’s Best Play Award, Rock ‘n’
Roll moves between Cambridge and Prague, where lives spin and intersect
with history until an unexpected reunion draws together what was worth the
fight: the possibility of freedom and love.
