"Machinal is a 1928 play by American playwright and journalistSophie Treadwell, inspired by the real-life case of convicted and executed murderer Ruth Snyder. "
The overall concept of this show was that everyone was wearing a sort of uniform, with the exception of the lead, Young Woman. In our version, the Young Woman was played by 9 different actors. The uniformity was intended to help create the mechanical world, as well as having the Young Woman stand out from the others. I made the decision to put the actors playing the Young Woman in white. This decision came from two lines in the script about the Young Woman being called both "the purest woman that ever lived" and also "an angel". This show was the last show I designed while at UBC
