Sophie Treadwell’s 1928 play Machinal may be the story of one woman battling societal pressure but Natalie Abrahami’s production for the Almeida Theatre teases out a more elemental struggle, one which stretches over the majority of the 20th century and by extension, even further.

‘Excellent production that gives the writing the respect it deserves’: MACHINAL – Almeida Theatre

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Tom Bolton14th June 2018Leave a Comment

An entirely contemporary play, Machinal presents themes that are as current on the stage now as they were in Treadwell’s time. The Almeida’s excellent production should do a great deal to give it the respect it deserves.
