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.
Machinal is playing at the Old Vic until 1 June 2024. Tickets from www.oldvictheatre.com
Production photos used in this video review are by Foteini Christofilopoulou and Manuel Harlan.
Paul was given a review ticket by the theatre.
