Machinal by Sophie Treadwell

Machinal by Sophie Treadwell 
Co-directed by Richard Waterhouse & Kym Moore

Inspired by the 1920s story of Ruth Snyder, Machinal highlights the relentless pressure of a society that keeps a young woman trapped between expectation and desire. Through a series of nine episodes, we follow a young woman’s journey as societal demands of marriage, motherhood, and work clash with her yearning for freedom. A powerful expressionist drama, Machinal is a chilling exploration of isolation, convention, and rebellion.
