Machinal by Sophie Treadwell
A young woman finds herself suffocating in a modernized, mechanized, and dehumanized society. What will she do? What would you do? This provocative social issues drama from the 1920s was inspired by the true story of Ruth Snyder. Playwright Sophie Treadwell was the journalist assigned to cover Snyder’s sensational murder trial. Treadwell takes us into the mind of the young woman to share a story of oppression, murder, and competing visions of justice.
“Gripping… doesn’t loosen its hold on the senses until its shattering climax.” – Independent

“[A work of] rare and disturbing beauty.” – The New York Times
