about the production
"Synapse Productions, a young and vibrant new
player on the scene, continues its string of polished stagings of
classics. Ginevra Bull's severe, monumental compositions suggest
a Robert Wilson influence, while her orchestration of the text's
machine-gun rhythms hits all the right notes. As Helen, the striking
Jessica Claire incarnates 20th century female angst."
:: Time Out New York
"The world of Sophie Treadwell's groundbreaking
1928 play is made all the more startling in its modern relevance
by Synapse Production's emphasis on period integrity. As Helen Jones,
a sensitive young woman whose elderly boss offers her an escape
from the hellish rat race, makes the choices that will lead to her
death in the electric chair, the evocative intelligence of Director
Ginevra Bull's staging drives home the painful truth that things
haven't changed all that much."

"If
you know the play, you deserve to experience this production. If

than this..."
