“Your skin oughtn’t to curl—ought it—when he just comes near you—ought it?”
A young woman is trapped in life’s machine, reluctantly marrying her boss whom she finds repulsive – a necessity, not love – and the days tick by in an endless cycle. One day, the woman finds passion with a stranger and longs to break free.
The woman is silenced.
The woman revolts.
Based on the true crime story of Ruth Snyder in 1928 that shook a nation, Sophie Treadwell’s seminal Machinal is a pulse-pounding journey of someone pushed to breaking point by the relentless machinery of life, expectation and convention.
