  • More about Rock 'n' Roll


Rock n Roll is a play by Tom Stoppard that explores politics, persecution, and protest in twentieth-century Czechoslovakia. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2006 and was revived at Hampstead Theatre in 2023. The play touches on many themes, including the erosion of freedom, and leaves the audience cheered by its wit, buoyancy, and belief in the human spirit.

The new and updated edition of Tom Stoppard's extraordinary, epic drama of politics, persecution, and protest in twentieth-century Czechoslovakia is now available. Rock 'n' Roll, which premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in June 2006, spans the years from 1968 to 1990 from the double perspective of Prague, where a rock 'n' roll band comes to symbolize resistance to the Communist regime, and of Cambridge, where the verities of love and death are shaping the lives of three generations in the family of a Marxist philosopher.

The remarkable thing about the play is that it touches on so many themes, registers its lament at the erosion of freedom in our society, and yet leaves you cheered by its wit, buoyancy, and belief in the human spirit. The Guardian calls it "stunning," The Times "****," and the Daily Telegraph "****." No one writes plays quite like Tom Stoppard. Time Out calls him "****."

This edition of Rock 'n' Roll includes an introduction by the author, providing insight into the inspiration and development of the play. It is a must-read for anyone interested in theatre, politics, and the human condition.
