Sophie Treadwell's 1928 expressionist play, drawn from the 1927 case of Ruth Snyder, follows a Young Woman pressed into the roles of a society that runs like a machine: stenographer, daughter, wife, mother, lover, murderer, convict and finally condemned woman. Her longing for freedom collides with marriage, motherhood and work. Student Abby McNeil, class of 2028, directs, and Sophie Coté stage-manages.
