When Machinal, Sophie Treadwell's 1928 play, opened at the Theatre Royal Bath's Ustinov Studio in late October last year, it was showered with praise, being described by critics as "magnificant", "a masterpiece", "riveting", "mesmerising" and "one of the great theatre nights of the decade".
Now the acclaimed play, which has been directed by Richard Jones (Endgame, The Hairy Ape) and stars Rosie Sheehy (Oleanna, Romeo and Julie) is transferring to London, opening at The Old Vic in April for a seven week run.
