Machinal - Old Vic - review

Sophie Treadwell's expressionist play about a woman crushed by male-dominated industrial society, revived by Theatre Royal Bath, has transferred the Old Vic Theatre in London. Paul Seven Lewis hails an outstanding performance by Rosie Sheehy in a visceral production by Richard Jones. The set by Hyemi Shin, lighting by Adam Silverman, and sound by Benjamin Grant all contribute to the claustrophobic effect.

Just saw a production of this at the University of Rhode Island. It is an excellent play.
I appreciate this review

A very insightful review, totally agree! The exhibition at Tate Modern sounds fantastic too.
