Cape Fear Community College's Department of Fine, Performing, and Commercial Arts proudly presents, “Machinal” by Sophie Treadwell. This 1920s expressionist piece, inspired by the trial of Ruth Synder, presents episodes in a Young Woman's life as she navigates her career, family life, marriage, and childbirth while struggling with her autonomy. The play examines the ways that an industrial, capitalist society can provoke self-destruction and how all oppressions are intertwined.
The play runs Nov 12-14 and 19-21 at the Wilson Center Studio Theatre. All performances are at 7 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM
Some of the events in the play may be disturbing to some viewers.
