New York Theatre Company's revival of Sophie Treadwell's Machinal, which began previews June 7, has extended its limited engagement Off-Broadway.
Directed by Amy Marie Seidel (Here There Are Blueberries), performances were originally scheduled through July 3 at New York City Center Stage II. The production will now continue until July 13.
The cast features Katherine Winter, Temidayo Amay, Sam Im, Kimberly Immanuel, Soph Metcalf, Shelley Mitchell, Alice Reys, Veronica Simpson, Hannah Snow, Michael Verre, Alex Lauren, and Annaliese Wilbur.
Inspired by the infamous 1926 case of Ruth Snyder鈥攁 woman sent to the electric chair for murdering her husband鈥拟补肠丑颈苍补濒 follows
this woman鈥檚 rebellion against a world of crushing conformity, where
passion, desperation, and defiance collide in a shocking act of
violence.
Seidel's reimagined production amplifies the mechanical rhythm and expressionism in Treadwell鈥檚 text through an underscoring of tap dance and heightened movement created by choreographer Madison Hilligoss.
The creative team also includes lighting designer Colleen Doherty, costume designer Hahnji Jang, sound designer Brittany Harris, scenic designer Rochele Mac, and dramaturg Asha Devi. Bennett Theatricals is the general manager.
NYTC is committed to reviving classic texts with inventive, socially conscious interpretations.
