Two seasons ago, the Roundabout Theatre Company presented a mesmerizing revival of Sophie Treadwell’s “Machinal.” Under the direction of Lyndsey Turner, this 1928 play dove right into the heart of repression to show why a young woman murdered her husband. On Thursday, the Roundabout opened its production of Helen Edmundson’s new stage adaptation of “Therese Raquin” at Studio 54. It’s also mesmerizing, but not in a good way. Emile Zola published the novel “Therese Raquin” in 1867, and the similarities between his story and Treadwell’s, which was based on a real-life case, are remarkable. Both classics center on stifled lead female characters.

If Theodore Dreiser had been a woman and that woman wrote the novel “An American Tragedy” as a play, you’d have Sophie Treadwell’s 1928 drama, “Machinal.” Or something very much like it. “Machinal,” which opened Thursday in a Roundabout Theater revival at the American Airlines Theater, is receiving its first Broadway revival. The original 1928 production is notable for providing a very young Clark Gable with his Broadway debut. This 2014 staging is notable for giving Rebecca Hall her stunning Broadway debut and proving that “Machinal” is an arresting and not some old chestnut that deserves to be cracked open only.

Though Sophie Treadwell didn’t call for it in the text, the superb Roundabout revival of her 1928 play Machinal begins, quite fittingly, with a machine. In very dim light, we perceive a subway car crowded with gray humans lurching and shaking; a woman pushes through the throng, desperate for an exit. You feel her claustrophobic panic, the sense that this hell-tube is apt to crush her.If you read into that image a vision of modernity (at least as seen from 1928) you would not be mistaken, but it is only partly sketched at this point. As the play proper starts, the train recedes into the gloom; it turns out to be part of a huge, revolving maze-like box, a kind of Art Deco cabinet of wonders, in which the actors will move from scene to scene in a forced march. It’s like Sleep No More’s McKittrick Hotel, only...

New York – You’ve got to give Rebecca Hall credit for not choosing a flattering, easily digestible star vehicle to make her arresting Broadway debut. Instead she opts for challenging material that could not be more diametrically opposed to the entertainment ethos of, say, Iron Man 3, to name one of the actor’s recent screen jobs. Inspired by the infamous New York murder trial and execution of Ruth Snyder early that year, Sophie Treadwell’s 1928 expressionist psychodrama, Machinal, is an airless examination of a desperate woman’s convulsive reaction against the confinement of marriage and motherhood in a society shaped by

The British actor stars on Broadway in Sophie Treadwell's 1928 expressionist drama following a woman to the electric chair
Rebecca Hall will make her Broadway debut tonight (16 January), in a new production of the expressionist drama Machinal, which follows a young woman to her execution by electric chair. Hall plays the unnamed lead in a role inspired by Ruth Snyder who, in 1928, became the first woman executed at Sing Sing prison, in New York, in almost 30 years. Sophie Treadwell's play opened to a rapturous critical reception eight months after Snyder's execution.
The current revival for Roundabout Theatre Company, staged by Chimerica director Lyndsey Turner, has been previewing at the American Airlines theatre since 20 December. It runs in a limited engagement until 2 March 2014.

The hit National Theatre production is to visit major festivals in Asia and New Zealand, before taking up residency as part of Cate Blanchett's final season as co-artistic director of Sydney Theatre Company
The National Theatre's smash hit One Man, Two Guvnors will swap Brighton pier for Bondi beach when it embarks on a tour of Australia and east Asia next year.
Having just finished a successful five months on Broadway, Nicholas Hytner's production will visit major festivals in Hong Kong, Adelaide and Auckland from February, before playing six-week runs in each of Australia's two cultural capitals, Sydney and Melbourne. The transfer might require playwright Richard Bean to tinker with the script a second time, to smooth some of the particularly British terminology for a new audience.
With James Corden due to film his latest self-penned BBC sitcom, The Wrong Man, in early 2013, the cast will be led by Owain Arthur.

Jodie Markell's The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond is a work with a fascinating backstory. It started when Markell, an actress who has made a career of sorts excavating and refurbishing the 'lost' works of a variety of artists (she brought Sophie Treadwell's lost 1928 work Machinal to the New York stage in 1990), found a never-produced screenplay in an anthology by one of the greatest American playwrights, Tennessee Williams. Determined to bring it to the screen, she got the funding and the approval from the Williams estate, and cast Bryce Dallas Howard as Fisher Willow, a classic Williams herione. The set-up is simple: Fisher, an heiress, has returned to 1920s Memphis society, and finds herself trying (and often failing) to fit in. She asks the poor caretaker's son, Jimmy Dobyne (Chris Evans) to escort her to social events, and the clash between the rich girl, the poor boy, and...
