Рок-н-ролл

Stoppard weaves real political upheaval into the story—did the characters' actions feel authentic to that era, or were they shaped more by the personal drama?

The way music is integrated seems to serve as a character itself—did it deepen the themes or sometimes overshadow the story for others?

It adds so much tension, but I wonder how much of that was driven by the historical events versus the characters' personal journeys.
