This is a re-imagining of Sophie Treadwell’s expressionistic play about a woman trapped in a mechanical society that dictates how women should act and live. It turns out that we’re all a part of this machine we call a society and an economy. It also turns out that it's no way to live. It was 1928 when Machinal premiered on Broadway, only a year after the events that inspired it.

Sophie Treadwell was a journalist covering what became a media circus — the trial and electrocution of Ruth Snyder. The industrial age and mechanization was reaching a dehumanizing zenith. It was a feeling not unfamiliar to those living a hundred years later. A long-time member of the company, this is Renee Hatton's directorial debut!

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world.
