Machinal, written by Sophie Treadwell, is based on the sensational 1927 trial of Ruth Snyder, a housewife who murdered her husband. It is a play largely about a woman attempting to find her own agency, with little success, despite the restraints of being a wife and mother. While the Almeida production boasts a wonderful set and the modern relevancy is clear, it ultimately falls short of its source material.
The Almeida Theatre presents its revival of Sophie Treadwell's Machinal, directed by Natalie Abrahami.

This new play is a dramatic account of families divided by the sea. Teenager Hanako is apparently swept out to sea one stormy night, but her fate lies not in the ocean but in the hands of the North Korean regime. Can the belief and determination of her mother, sister and friend mean all hope is not lost…?
On a Japanese beach, teenage sisters Hanako (Kirsty Rider) and Reiko (Kae Alexander) are caught up in a storm. Reiko survives while Hanako is lost to the sea. Their mother (Rosalind Chao), however, can't shake the feeling that her missing daughter is still alive, and soon family tragedy takes on a global political dimension. Set in Japan and North Korea, Francis Turnly's epic new thriller is directed by Artistic Director of the Tricycle Theatre Indhu Rubasingham in a co-production with the Tricycle Theatre.
