Sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll ... and politics?
Yup, it’s Tom Stoppard’s Rock ’n’ Roll, the story of Prague’s political and rock revolution that began in 1968. At 7 p.m., the New England premiere by the Huntington Theatre Company
(Boston University Theatre, 264 Huntington Avenue, Boston,
617.266.0800) will tell the story of Max, a Marxist professor in
Cambridge who’s stuck in the middle of the civil-rights movement, a
presidential election, and a war, while his sidekick — the Rolling
Stones-obsessed Jan — is in Prague when music shows the power to
threaten authority. Tickets ($15 to $82.50) are available at www.huntingtontheatre.org,
the Boston University Theatre box office, or the box office at the
Calderwood Pavilion (Boston Center for the Arts, 527 Tremont Street,
Boston, 617.266.0800).
