Relaxed Performance – Machinal @ Old Vic, London

Relaxed performances are specially adapted performances for those who benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere whilst in the theatre. They provide a supportive environment which allows for noise and movement in the auditorium and allows re-entry if audience members need time out during the performance.

The relaxed performance for A Christmas Carol is also audio described, BSL interpreted and captioned.

ABOUT THE SHOW
‘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.
