Rock 'N' Roll
by Tom Stoppard, directed by Judith Swift
You won’t want to miss the Rhode Island premiere of an extraordinary theatrical event from four-time Tony Award winner Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Travesties, The Real Thing, The Coast of Utopia). It's August 1968, and Russian tanks are rolling into Prague. Jan, a recently repatriated Czech student, lives for rock music. Max, a Cambridge professor and dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, lives for Communism. By 1990, revolution has taken hold, the tanks are rolling out and idealism is nowhere to be found. All that remains is love...and loud music. A sweeping drama spanning two countries and 22 turbulent years—punctuated by the soul-stirring sounds of legendary groups like the Stones, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead—Rock 'N' Roll is a complex, moving and electrifying exploration of society in the throes of transformation.
Winner of the London Evening Standard Theatre Award and London Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for Best New Play

The Gamm presents plays of substance and distinction, acted with excellence and offered to the public in an intimate setting that allows the audience to be immersed fully in the ambiance of the production and the interchange between the actors themselves, and between the actors and the audience.
In 2003, the Gamm moved into its new home, the Pawtucket Armory, since renamed the Arts Exchange. The Arts Exchange is poised to be an exciting venue for the arts, and the large drill hall is often used for events, such as the Annual Foundry Artists Show.
