A powerful expressionist drama from the 1920s about the dependent status of women in an increasingly mechanised society, based on the true story of Ruth Snyder.

A powerful expressionist drama from the 1920s about the dependent status of women in an increasingly mechanised society, based on the true story of Ruth Snyder. Sophie Treadwell was a campaigning journalist in America between the wars. Among her assignments was the sensational murder involving Snyder, who with her lover, Judd Gray, had murdered her husband and gone to the electric chair. 'This is a play written in anger. In the dead wasteland of male society – it seems to ask – isn't it necessary for certain women, at least, to resort to murder?' - Nicholas WrightSophie Treadwell's play Machinal was first seen on Broadway in 1928, and in London in 1930. It has been revived many times since, including by the National Theatre, London, in 1993 in a production starring Fiona Shaw and directed by Stephen Daldry. This edition of Machinal includes an introduction by Judith E. Barlow.
