Snyder is trapped first in a dead-end job, then forced to marry her boss and have a baby with him. But when she begins to discover her own carnal desires while having an affair with a younger man, the story takes a violent turn. Written in 1928, playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell&#8217;s expressionistic masterpiece explores traditional gender roles and the illusion of choice in modern society. While the play is decades old, it&#8217;s still eerily relevant for today&#8217;s audiences.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0An encore for an alumnus<\/h3>\n<p>Director <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matthewmccray.com\">Matthew McCray<\/a> has directed for Center Theatre Group, South Coast Repertory (StudioSCR), Deaf West Theatre, Theatre @ Boston Court, REDCAT, Son of Semele, and Rogue Machine, among others.
