Rock N Roll Synopsis &
Storyline
It's August 1968, and Russian tanks are rolling in to Prague. Jan, the
Czech student, lives for rock music, Max, the English professor, lives
for Communism and Esme, the flower child, is high. By 1990, the tanks
are rolling out, the Stones are rolling in and idealism has hit the
wall. A deeply felt look at the connection between rock music and
revolution, Stoppard's sweeping and witty play spans two countries,
three generations and twenty-two turbulent years, at the end of which
love remains - and so does rock 'n' roll.
