BEREA, OH – The Department of
Theatre and Dance at Baldwin Wallace University presents Tom Stoppard’s Rock ‘n’ Roll directed by Adam Heffernan.
It’s 1968 and Jan is fighting communism with
the help of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Pink Floyd. Advocating for his
artistic expression while the Soviet Union attempts to take it away, he is
drawn toward a dangerous act of dissent. Over the next twenty years of love,
espionage, chance and loss, the characters eventually discover what is truly
worth fighting for.
Director Adam Heffernan is an associate
professor and chair of the Department of Theatre & Dance. His previous work
on Stoppard plays includes directing THE
REAL THING and performing in THE REAL
INSPECTOR HOUND and THE 15-MINUTE
HAMLET. Tom Stoppard is a Czech-born British playwright. He is a Tony and
Oscar award winner, whose works include SHAKESPEARE
IN LOVE, BRAZIL, ARCADIA, ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD, and many
others.
