The time: the mid-1970s. The carpet: brown shag. \u003ci\u003eStereophonic\u003c\/i\u003e brings us inside the cloistered world of a recording studio as a rock band on the brink of superstardom attempts to create their sophomore album. The ensuing pressures open up cracks in the band's once-easy camaraderie, and spats over issues like tempo and song length begin to reveal deeper problems in the band's foundation. Running on a diet of booze, sleep deprivation, and a giant bag of cocaine, interpersonal relationships are pushed to the breaking point as a process that was meant to last a few weeks becomes a neverending slog. With original songs by Arcade Fire's Will Butler, David Adjmi's play is an electrifying portrait of a band wracked with division and disillusionment that nevertheless might be on the verge of creating a masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Adjmi's\u003c\/strong\u003e plays include \u003cem\u003eMarie Antoinette\u003c\/em\u003e (Soho Rep, American Repertory Theater, Yale Repertory Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre Company), \u003cem\u003e3C\u003c\/em\u003e (Rattlestick Playwrights Theater), \u003cem\u003eElective Affinities\u003c\/em\u003e (Royal Shakespeare Company, Soho Rep), \u003cem\u003eStunning\u003c\/em\u003e (LCT3\/Lincoln Center Theater, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company), \u003cem\u003eThe Evildoers\u003c\/em\u003e (Sundance, Yale Repertory Theatre), \u003cem\u003eCaligula\u003c\/em\u003e (Soho Rep Studio Series) and \u003cem\u003eStrange Attractors\u003c\/em\u003e (Empty Space).
