Episode 098: Stereophonic by David Adjmi
Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: David Adjmi
Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We’ll discuss the play’s origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing.
It is 1976, and a fictional rock band are holed up in a studio in California attempting to record their much anticipated second album. The pressures of an inflated studio budget and raised artistic expectations expose the fault lines in the band’s professional and personal relationships. David Adjmi’s Tony-award-winning play, Stereophonic, is a fly-on-the-wall depiction of both the magic and the monotony of collaborative artistic endeavour, as the cast recreates the live process of making music, and play out the price they pay for their art and fame.
As we record this episode, Stereophonic has opened in London’s West End following its triumph on Broadway, and I am thrilled to be joined by the play’s author, David Adjmi, to explore his unique creation.
