"If you ask playwright David Adjmi, he was merely inspired by Fleetwood Mac and the story of the band's emotionally fraught and drug-fueled experience recording at the legendary Record Plant in Sausalito in 1976. But his play, , is not about the five specific members of that band, just about fictional members of a band who happen to look and sound a lot like Fleetwood Mac, having a tumultous, fictionalized experience in Sausalito in 1976."
"Like -era Fleetwood Mac, the unnamed band in consists of three men and two women, with three of them British including a pair who were married but getting divorced at the time, and two young Americans who were also romantically involved. There is Peter (played on this tour by Denver Milord), a swaggering, handsome, wildly talented, wildly arrogant stand-in for Lindsay Buckingham, who exerts enough control over his bandmates to become ersatz producer of the album they spend months working on."
A fictionalized account follows an unnamed five-piece band during 1976 recording sessions at the Record Plant in Sausalito, evoking Fleetwood Mac's atmosphere and turmoil. The ensemble includes three British musicians and two American musicians, with romantic entanglements and divorces shaping the group's chemistry. Peter, a charismatic and controlling guitarist-producer, dominates sessions and creative decisions. Diana, an American songwriter and singer, contributes heavily to the new record while seeking an independent artistic identity. Holly, a keyboardist and songwriter, navigates a divorce during the sessions. The narrative foregrounds drug-fueled excess, interpersonal conflict, and creative power struggles amid intense studio work.
