Machinal
By Sophie Treadwell
Directed by Janice Pohl
In 1928, journalist and playwright Sophie Treadwell built Machinal on the foundations of the true NY crime story of Ruth Snyder. The key events of that news sensation frame this landmark of the American Stage: the accusation of the murder of her husband, the trial and conviction, and the sentence of execution. Machinal offers a highly expressionist exploration of limitations and freedom, of justice and injustice.
