Theatre: "Machinal"
North Central College presents "Machinal," a play inspired by the true story of Ruth Snyder, the first woman to be executed at Sing Sing Prison in 1928. Four performances will be staged at 7:30 p.m. May 19-21 and at 2 p.m. May 22 in the theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31 E. Ellsworth St. Written by American playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell, the play is set in the 20th century New York. "Machinal" advances a dark vision about women's place in society and the consequences of not falling into step with the rhythm of the machine. The drama follows the character of a young woman through nine episodes of her life. Resistant to the norms that society places on her, the protagonist marries her boss and has an affair with a younger man who makes her feel alive. The production is directed by Laura Lodewyck, assistant professor of theatre at North Central. Tickets are $10/adults and $8/students and senior citizens; call 630-637-SHOW (7468) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix. The performance contains adult material, including some violence not suitable for children.
