Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of MACHINAL by Sophie Treadwell. Starring Rebecca Hall, directed by acclaimed British director Lyndsey Turner. (12/20/13-3/2/14)
“this sensually shocking and impeccably acted production-a high point in my years attending the Roundabout-feels stingingly fresh and provocative…. the ensemble is studded with bright, eye-catching turns by many of the New York stage’s finest: Dion Graham, urging his lover to get an abortion; Jeff Biehl’s fatuous doctor, bullying nurse and patient; Arnie Burton, enjoying the limelight as a flashy lawyer.” – David Cote, TimeOut NY
“the Roundabout gives it the top-drawer mounting it deserves. The director, Lyndsey Turner, making an exceptional U.S. debut, pulls off the neat trick of realizing a Big Idea without letting it consume the play. She’s also elicited compelling performances from the large supporting cast, and mustered all the technical elements into a comprehensible if resolutely mysterious whole.” – Jesse Green, NY Magazine
