Machinal is a superb adaptation of Sophie Treadwell’s classic play, based on the story of the first woman to face the electric chair in New York.

Below are some other comments from the audience during the opening week:

"Beautifully directed, the performances were just outstanding and it was technically brilliant.” - Sarah

“Brilliantly directed by Janette Evans you are taken on a journey of emotions with some scenes handled with incredible sensitivity. Together with stunning lighting, which enhanced the coldness of the metal inspired set, evocative music and some very impressive acting where my skin literally went cold this is an incredible piece of live theatre. Please do take the opportunity to watch this sad but true story unfold.” - Jenny

“From the moment it begins you know Machinal is going to be something special.

The opening scene, incredibly set and very cleverly choreographed, brought to life the monochrome world of one woman in particular living in the late 1920s in New York.  The story follows her journey through a loveless marriage, an affair and ultimately a costly decision. Gritty and thought-provoking, it's a hard watch at times but that's what good theatre is all about!” - Sue
