"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 rockalbums, Jan, a Cambridge graduate student, returns to his homeland ofCzechoslovakia just as Soviet tanks roll into Prague. When security forcestighten their grip on artistic expression, Jan is inexorably drawn toward adangerous act of dissent. Back in England, Jan's volcanic mentor Max, acommunist Marxist, faces a crisis of his own as his cancer-stricken wifeEleanor, and then his free-spirited daughter Esme, witness the breakdown of hisideals. Winner of the Evening Standard's Best Play Award, Rock 'n'Roll moves between Cambridge and Prague, where lives spin and intersectwith history until an unexpected reunion draws together what was worth thefight: the possibility of freedom and love.
