Machinal

By Sophie Treadwell

Tells the story, based on actual events, of a young woman who resorts to murder when caught between the hell of an empty marriage and her own desire for freedom and love. Written in 1928, this expressionist masterpiece was a radical experiment for its time, with a bold critique of gender prejudice in American society and an adventurous experiment with structure and form.
