Machinal - A Play by Sophie Treadwell

From the outside, Helen Jones and her husband had a ‘happy marriage’. Until she murdered him.  

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.
