Description

When the Soviet hammer falls on Prague Spring, Jan returns to his native city to rescue two things – socialism and his mother. His only luggage: a suitcase full of rock albums. This show won raves on Broadway, and it's no wonder – Stoppard's writing, like the best music, invigorates your mind along with your spirit. The relationship of self to state and of body to mind are just some of the ideas he explores, with help from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, and many others.

"Astounding, funny, wise and triumphant. Rock 'n' Roll renews your awareness that history is what happens while we live our day-to-day lives. I left the theater feeling elated." —New York Magazine
