Machinal

Sophie Treadwell's classic Machinal is a powerful drama that explores the deeply corrosive effects of misogyny in America. Machinal tells the story of Helen, a young woman who feels that every decision she makes merely moves her from one cage to another. This social imprisonment forces Helen to confront the question, is there any place a woman can truly be free? Directed by Julianne Just (co-artistic director of The Speakeasy Society).

Concept for the scenic of Machinal:
"I feel like Helen is trapped in this cold world and we will feel in the same way as we watch it on stage so I wanted to create a place where she is always trapped and couldn't get rid of ."
