Brian Cox on Tom Stoppard's sensational Rock'n'Roll: 'I looked through the curtain and saw Mick Jagger and Václav Havel'

🤔 I'm glad Brian Cox shared those behind-the-scenes stories about his time with Tom Stoppard's Rock'n'Roll. It's wild to think about the likes of Václav Havel and Mick Jagger attending a play alongside the Royal Court Theatre cast 🎭. What really stood out from what Brian Cox said is how Tom prioritized his artistic vision over character development - it's like, as a fan of theatre, you want to see more than just a scripted role being played out on stage 😐. Stoppard's attention to detail and commitment to elegance are definitely qualities that make him a legendary playwright 👏.

when you say his vision for Rock'n'Roll was elegant... does that mean he only did shows at noon

I mean, what's next? Tom Stoppard giving lecture on efficiency and punctuality
 
omg u think brian cox's story about tom stoppard is so cool! i mean, can u imagine seeing mick jagger at the theatre lol 🤩. but what's even more impressive is how tom stoppard's approach to writing is still relevant today - like his focus on ideas over character development, it's like he's saying 'we gotta have substance in our art' 📚💡. and btw, i love how brian cox recalls him waiting for the meter to pay for parking, that's so funny! 😂
 
🤩 I'm obsessed with Tom Stoppard's work and how he brings so much depth to his stories! 💡 Brian Cox must've had some amazing experiences during Rock'n'Roll, and meeting Mick Jagger at a play sounds like a dream come true for any music fan 🎸. What I love about Stoppard's approach is that you can tell he's all about the art, not just about getting the audience to clap – it's like he's saying, "Okay, we've got 90 minutes of theatre, let's make every second count!" 😅
