Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard
Rock'n'Roll spans the years from 1968 to 1990 from the double perspective of Prague, where a rock'n'roll band comes to symbolise 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
Tom Stoppard was born in Czechoslovakia in 1937. His only novel, Lord Malquist and Mr Moon, was published in 1966. His work for the stage includes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Jumpers, Travesties, Night and Day, After Magritte, The Real Thing, Enter a Free Man, Hapgood, Arcadia, Indian Ink (a stage adaptation of his own play, In the Native State), The Invention of Love, which won him his seventh Evening Standard Award, and Voyage, Shipwreck and Salvage - three sequential self-contained plays that comprise The Coast of Utopia. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Travesties and The Real Thing won Tony Awards. Work for television includes Professional Foul (Bafta Award, Broadcasting Press Guild Award). His film credits include Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which he also directed (winner of the Golden Lion, Venice Film Festival) and, with Mark Norman, Shakespeare in Love.
