¿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.
