Fleetwood Mac Sound Engineer Broadway Hit 'Stereophonic' for Copyright Infringement

Ken Caillat and co-author Steven Stiefel claim the Tony-winning play unlawfully adapts their memoir on the making of Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours'.

  • Ken Caillat, a sound engineer on Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours', alleges that 'Stereophonic' copies elements from his memoir 'Making Rumours'.
  • The lawsuit targets playwright David Adjmi and the play's producers, claiming the play mirrors the band's dynamics and recording experiences.
  • Central to the complaint is the character Grover, whose journey from engineer to producer allegedly reflects Caillat's own career path.
  • The suit highlights specific scenes and dialogues in 'Stereophonic' that are said to be lifted from Caillat's book.
  • David Adjmi denies intentional similarities, stating his play is a fictional work inspired by the 1970s music scene.
