Feel the buzz! In the Next Room or the vibrator play is a comedy about marriage, intimacy, and electricity. Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity and based on the bizarre historical fact that doctors used vibrators to treat “hysterical” women (and some men), the play centers on a doctor and his wife and how his new therapy affects their entire household. On a larger scale, it serves as an insightful, provocative commentary on the role of women in a changing world.
“A play that’s smart, delicate and very, very funny.” New York Post
“The playwright mines her subject for suitably bawdy humor without resorting to vulgarity. But what really gives the work its distinction is its sensitive exploration of the physical and emotional repression suffered by the women of the era, which has yet to disappear.” Hollywood Reporter
This production is recommended for ages 16 and up. All attendees, regardless of age must have a ticket to enter the theater.
