Rock 'n' Roll: A New Play -- Tom Stoppard

<b>"One of the great political plays in the English language."--Sunday Times (UK)</b></p>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 <i>Evening Standard</i>'s Best Play Award, <i>Rock 'n' Roll</i> 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. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Tom Stoppard<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grove Press<br><b>Published:</b> 12/05/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780802160799
