![]() ![]() Frankly, it's of little help.Īnchoring itself to the story of a minor Czech alternative band imprisoned for being subversive a few years after the Soviet occupation of Prague in 1968, and taking us up to the demolition of the Berlin Wall in 1989, we are bombarded at breakneck speed with wars of words spoken by various characters representing every consciousness-raising philosophy Stoppard can fit into this three-hour diatribe on the fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia and the nature of consciousness, with the poetry of Sappho thrown in for good measure. The plight of political dissidents is the ostensible focus of "R 'n' R," particularly about disparate ideas of socialism that alternately collide and occasionally coincide, but we have to wonder if Stoppard meant the real focus to be the music of a lost generation, or, perhaps, a generation that has lost its music.Īpparently, we're not the only ones left wondering about this since Playbill includes an explanatory brochure complete with an arbitrary list of rock 'n' roll milestones, an historical background of the Czech human rights movement, and a short treatise on "Marxism and Consciousness" in an attempt to help us understand the philosophies of the main characters. This new season brings us the much-anticipated "Rock 'n' Roll," a new Broadway play by Stoppard that has less to do with music and more to do with 20th century Communism. In just the last few years, "Democracy," "Copenhagen," "Frost / Nixon," and the Tom Stoppard trilogy, "The Coast of Utopia" have walked away with the coveted Tony honors. ![]() Political plays have always been a mainstay of dramatic theater, dating all the way back to the Ancient Greeks.
