Stereophonic brings us inside the elusive world of a recording studio, as a rock band on the brink of superstardom attempts to create their difficult second album. Running on a diet of booze, sleep deprivation, and a giant bag of cocaine, interpersonal relationships are pushed to breaking point as a process that was meant to last a few weeks becomes a never-ending ordeal.
With original songs by Arcade Fire's Will Butler, David Adjmi's play is an electrifying portrait of a band wracked with division that nevertheless just might be on the verge of creating a masterpiece.
Stereophonic opened at Playwrights Horizons in New York City in 2023, directed by Daniel Aukin. It transferred to Broadway in 2024, becoming the most Tony-nominated play of all time and winning Best Play – and to London's West End in 2025.
David Adjmi's other plays include Stunning, Marie Antoinette, 3C, Elective Affinities and The Evildoers. He has won many awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship, the Whiting Writers' Award, and the Steinberg Playwright Award.
