"How can that be? A great sin – a mortal sin – for which I must die and go to hell – but it made me free! One moment I was free!"

From the outside, Helen Jones and her husband had a "happy marriage". Until she murdered him.

Based on the true crime story of Ruth Snyder in 1928 that shook a nation, Sophie Treadwell’s seminal Machinal is a pulse-pounding journey of someone pushed to breaking point by the relentless machinery of life, expectation and convention.

Rosie Sheehy (Oleanna, Chernobyl) reprises her critically acclaimed role in Olivier Award-winning director Richard Jones' "outstanding production" (Daily Mail).
