In The Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)

Sarah Ruhl’s Tony-nominated play is an exploration of love, longing and science in a time of invention and discovery. In a 19th century home, a doctor’s new treatment for “hysteria” is capturing everyone’s attention, including that of his wife. As she overhears his patients’ sessions in the next room, they awaken feelings of her own–but can Mrs. Givings break through the wall between minds and hearts, husbands and wives? This thought-provoking, funny and touching play about marriage and intimacy is sure to be the buzz of the city!
