STEREOPHONIC

This is a story about the creation of the best music album of all time.
This is the end of the love story of its creators.
Or the beginning.

The 1970s. A rock band is working in a recording studio in California around the clock, recording their next album – its success will determine their future.

As weeks turn to months, creative tension, romantic entanglements, and insecurities begin to fracture the group. Arguments erupt in the creative laboratory, authorship and ambition collide, but sparkling through it all is a fragile chemistry of collective genius that makes the music possible and unforgettable.

Inspired by the making of the legendary album "Rumours" (1977) by Fleetwood Mac, playwright David Adjmi and Will Butler of Arcade Fire fame have crafted an elegiac portrait of how deeply personal life shapes creative choices. Since its world premiere in 2023, "Stereophonic" has become a cult item of contemporary drama – nominated for 13 Tony Awards and winning five, including Best Play.
