Stoppard, Zizka and Czechoslovakia

Philadelphia Inquirer: "With a career spanning four decades, from 1967's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to Rock 'n' Roll, which opened on Broadway last season and has its local premiere at the Wilma Theater on Wednesday, Tom Stoppard is considered by many to be the greatest living English-language playwright."

I read Rock & Roll in a contemporary theatre class in undergrad, and I did not like it at all. The plot and action are very convoluted and confusing, and it is very hard to understand. That said, I would be interested in seeing it staged, because a lot of the time that reveals things about the play that you don't get from reading it. I'm always up for seeing a play, even if I don't like the script, because you never know if it'll surprise you.
