Review by Markus Hamence – Machinal. Performance date: Thursday 21 May 2026. Goodwood Theatre & Studios, Goodwood, South Australia.

She wasn’t supposed to want him. But the moonshine is flowing, the night is alive, and for once she is done playing by the rules. In the heat of a prohibition speakeasy, a woman decides to grab her life with both hands. Machinal is bold, electric, and unmissable. Opens tomorrow. Come see why.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What could drive a woman to murder?

In 1927, the world was transfixed by the real-life case that inspired Sophie Treadwell’s groundbreaking play MACHINAL – and now, for the first time, this landmark work is coming to South Australia.

🎭 MACHINAL - South Australian Premiere
📍 Goodwood Theatre and Studios, Adelaide
�📅 21–30 May 2026

Red Phoenix Theatre Inc. brings this fierce, haunting portrait of a Young Woman trapped by the machinery of modern life to the Adelaide stage – with striking visuals, an immersive soundscape, and a powerhouse ensemble.

If you love bold, boundary-pushing theatre that stays with you long after the curtain falls, don’t wait. Seats are limited and this play is rarely performed.

Book early so you don’t miss this rare theatrical event.

She did what she was told. Married. Worked. Obeyed. Until she didn’t. Sophie Treadwell’s Machinal is a furious, beautiful collision of desire, duty and desperation. Opening next Wednesday, this is theatre with teeth. Book now. You’ll feel it.
