Stereophonic, performed at The Duke of York's Theatre, is a workplace drama set in a claustrophobic 70s recording studio, mirroring the chaotic creative process of a classic album. It explores themes of marital strife, drug use, and artistic collaboration through its characters, including a sound engineer juggling warring bandmates. While some praise its depth, others critique its lengthy run time. The show features powerful original songs performed live, though their late arrival can test audience patience. Overall, it offers a touching portrayal of female friendship amidst a tumultuous backdrop.
The production’s three hour and 15 minute running time may test the patience of viewers, but it mirrors the nightmarish, drug-fueled environment of a 70s recording studio.
Stereophonic combines a workplace drama with glimpses into tumultuous relationships, showcasing brilliant original songs that, while delayed in their appearance, eventually shine through.
