The story
David Adjmi’s play is set inside a recording studio in 1976, where a fictional Anglo-American band spends months working on the album that could make them famous. Personal relationships, ambition and creative disagreements become inseparable from the music they are trying to make. The production is directed by Daniel Aukin, with original songs by Will Butler.
In the room
A detailed, fly-on-the-wall recreation of the recording process, moving between conversations in the control room and songs taking shape in the studio. It is a long ensemble drama interested in the repetitive, frustrating and occasionally exhilarating process of making something together, rather than a conventional jukebox musical.
Good fit if you like
1970s rock, ensemble dramas, backstage stories and plays that spend time watching creative relationships develop under pressure.
