Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll Gets New Cast, Extends

Emma Fielding and Dominic West will join the cast of Tom Stoppard's critically acclaimed new play, Rock 'n' Roll, as further performances are announced for Trevor Nunn's sell-out production. The show, which recouped in just eight weeks, continues to break all box office records at the Duke of York's Theatre, playing to packed houses in the West End.
 
Rock 'n' Roll received its world premiere at the Royal Court earlier this year, where it was a sell out success, and subsequently transferred to the Duke of York's Theatre. Further performances were announced in August, and as discussions continue for the Broadway production, due to exceptional public demand the producers of Rock 'n' Roll announce a further 15 weeks, now booking until Sunday 25th February 2007.
 
Rock 'n' Roll "spans the years from 1968 to 1990 from the double perspective of Prague, where a rock 'n' roll band comes to symbolize resistance to the Communist regime, and of Cambridge where the verities of love and death are shaping the lives of three generations in the family of a Marxist philosopher."

Fielding and West both begin performances 14 November. There will be other casting replacements announced shortly.
 
The current cast features Nicole Ansari, Louise Bangay, Anthony Calf, Martin Chamberlain, Miranda Colchester, David Calder, Sinead Cusack, Alice Eve, Edward Hogg, Rufus Sewell, and Peter Sullivan.
 
Performances are Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30 PM, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2:30 PM and Sunday matinees at 3 PM. No performances from 6th  – 13th November 2007.

Duke of York's Theatre is located at St Martin's Lane, London WC2. The box office number is 0870 060 6623. Tickets are £10.00 - £45.00, plus concessions.
