Final coundown for AIS...

Rehan Munasinha and Joshua Weeransingham play Franz, the meek obedient son to Hilda. On the character, Weeransingham believes that the audiences will be able to relate to Franz as he undergoes a transformation as he finds the courage to stop listening to others and finally become who he truly is.

Staying true to his character, Val Wedenayake who plays the bona fide rock star in the play says that he hopes people will realise the importance of rock and roll music. Rock and Roll is an incredible genre that seems to be dying right now. His wild antics on stage are something to be prepare for.

Powerful, assertive but with a certain kindness to her are the words Shyalina Muthumudalige uses to describe Justice, the owner of the Venus- A- Go- Go Dance Club.

Regina, a fierce protester against the tearing down of the Sunset Strip is played by Tashiyana Devarajan. An angry strong-spirited character, I don’t give up on what I believe in shares Devarajan on her role in the play.

The cast as a whole agree that audiences will definitely enjoy being taken back to the 80s and experiencing the lifestyles, fashion and music of the time. Everybody has dreams, and ‘ Rock of Ages’ is there prove that in order to pursue your dreams one doesn’t stop believing in themselves - a key takeaway from this production.

As Munasinha puts it “we’re trying to make everyone in the audience get up on their feet and feel the groove of rock. We want to bring the whole theatre down.”
