22 December 2014Four Stars
Yes I enjoyed the book..
30 January 2014A stoic depiction of the plight of a Young Woman (read: Everywoman)
\"Machinal\" unfolds in nine \"episodes,\" or scenes, exploring the kind of \"every woman\" journey of Helen Jones , beginning with her work as an office clerk, then following her marriage to the company Vice-President, her affair outside of marriage, and the murder of her husband.
12 March 2009Decent
This book had much more writing in it that the seller listed.
1 December 2007A disappointment
I watched this play performed at a local college.
4 January 2007Still relevant today
Sophie Treadwell's seminal play, whilst set in the late 1920s, continues to have relevance today.
30 December 2005A Feminist Play Ahead of its Time.
Having worked in the theatre, though I think more than that, being a fan of theatre and a student of literature, my take on reading plays is kind of odd.
7 July 2004Heartrending and crushing
Less a 'feminist' play than a play about the human condition as a whole, Treadwell's 'Machinal' recalls the work of Ionesco, Strindberg and Pinter: the human being as pawn in a senseless and hellish society.
6 February 2003Great show of American expressionism!
Having taught this play a number of times at the college level, I find it one of the most accessable examples of expressionism available in print.
20 September 2001The Single Best Play Ever Written
If only the Adding Machine did not overshadow this masterpiece, similar to Goodfellas overshadowing the much more deserving Miller's Crossing.
14 May 2000Machinal is truly moving
Being a student who has performed, and read, this play I strongly suggest it to others.
