Today, I am thrilled to announce my interview with 2024 Tony award winning playwright David Adjmi, whose play Stereophonic has quickly become Broadway’s newest sensation. Tune in today for a deep dive into the making of that play, including its Reagan-focused political undercurrent, the plane trip that gave him inspiration, why he views his plays like jigsaw puzzles, the reason why some audiences don’t respond to the play, the site-specific production he originally imagined, how the pandemic foiled the initial plans for a Broadway production, how band practice created chemistry among the cast, the process of securing Playwrights Horizons, how he ensured his vision for the timing of the play was maintained, and so much more. You can also hear other stories from his great career, including why Marian Seldes made a great collaborator, how an unpleasant experience at Juilliard influenced his subsequent work, his interactions with Stephen Sondheim, why he looks up to Edward Albee, what he looks for in a director, why he wants to tackle musical theater next, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this interview with a true genius in the American theater.
