Machinal

by Sophie Treadwell

Machinal Top / Details
1920s New York. Machines by day, jazz by night – big new sounds fill a brave new world. With new wealth and new opportunities for women, “Miss A” escapes her poor background, gets an office job in a skyscraper, marries the boss. Perfect. Until a sexual awakening in a downtown bar sends her on a one-way path to love – with disastrous consequences. Final year students from one of the UK's top drama schools present this seminal play of the 1920s written by the campaigning American journalist, Sophie Treadwell. The Oxford School of Drama is based in Woodstock and trains actors for the profession. Graduates of the School can currently be seen on stages across the UK including at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, National Theatre, Royal Court, Soho Theatre, Bush Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre; on television, in feature films and also on the radio.
