Book Reviews of Rock 'n' Roll: A New Play
Book Review: A Fine Play by Stoppard
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this play because I was going to see the Huntington Theater production in Boston and as my hearing deteriorates I like to read plays before seeing them. This is really a fine play and although it deals with big ideas it is a lot more passionate and less cerebral than I expected of Stoppard. I'm not much of a play-goer, but for what it's worth it was one of the best plays I have seen in recent years. I found it well worth my time and money to read the book, and it was interesting to see some differences between the Broadway version (documented in the book) and the Boston version in the last scene. Both scenes work well, but I think the Boston version is slightly tighter.
