This expressionist masterpiece is based on the real-life trial and conviction of Ruth Snyder imaginatively restructured and retold by Treadwell in nine episodes of a woman’s everyday life. It is a cacophonic machine of a play that asks us as much about our perceived human boundaries today as it did eighty years ago.
