Prom-date court battle adapted for the stage in ‘Rock Lobster’ - Arts

“Reflections of a Rock Lobster,’’ which has its world premiere Saturday at Boston Children’s Theatre, is adapted from Aaron Fricke’s 1981 memoir of the same name. The book chronicles Fricke’s experiences as a Cumberland, R.I., teenager who in 1980 sued and won the right to bring a male date to his high school prom, held at a country club in Sutton, Mass.
