Tickets are now on sale for Golden Globe nominee Rebecca Hall's Broadway debut! The Roundabout Theatre Company production of Sophie Treadwell’s play Machinal will begin performances December 20 at the American Airlines Theatre. Directed by Lyndsey Turner, the show is set to open on January 16, 2014.
Inspired by the infamous 1927 murder trial of Ruth Snyder, Machinal tells the story of a Young Woman who works as a stenographer in the industrial male-dominated world of the 1920s. She finds her only joy in an illicit love affair, but when reality sets in and she must return to her routine existence she’ll go to any lengths to regain her freedom.
In addition to Hall, the cast includes Suzanne Bertish, Michael Cumpsty and Morgan Spector. Machinal will feature set design by Es Devin, lighting design by Jane Cox, costume design by Michael Krass and sound design by Matt Tierney.
