GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - Feb. 14, 2018 - EntSun -- The students of the Adelphi University Department of Theatre present Machinal, a gripping drama by American journalist and playwright Sophie Treadwell. Machinal will run from February 27 through March 4 in the Olmsted Theatre in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (Adelphi PAC), 1 South Ave, Garden City, New York. Machinal is directed by Maggie Lally.

It's America's Golden Age, a time of happiness, freedom and prosperity – or is it? For one young woman in the industrial, male-dominated world of the 1920s, life is nothing like she hoped it would be. Tormented and unfulfilled in a passionless marriage and an unwanted motherhood, she finally discovers joy in the form of an illicit love affair and her life is forever changed. A groundbreaking work in the landscape of American theatre, Machinal is a riveting look at how advances in the industrial age (not unlike the digital age) created an atmosphere virtually devoid of empathy and humanity trapping many women in a male-dominated oppressive wasteland.
