CU theatre to present Machinal Feb 23-26 By Elinor Keck, student news writer, Office of University Communications Campbellsville University's Department of Theatre and Dance, Town Hall Productions and Heritage Children Services will present "Machinal" Feb. 23-26, 2023 in the Russ Mobley Theatre, 114 University Drive, Campbellsville. Machinal is a 1928 expressionist drama by American playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell.

A synopsis of the play explains: "A young woman works as a low-level stenographer and lives with her mother. She follows the rituals that society expects of a woman, however resistant she may feel about them. She subsequently marries her boss, whom she finds repulsive. "After having a baby with him, she has an affair with a younger man who fuels her lust for life. Driven to murder her husband, she is convicted of the crime and is executed in the electric chair."
