In the Next Room or the Vibrator Play by Sarah Ruhl

4.0

What a play. Two rooms next to one another. In one, a doctor uses a vibrator to treat women dealing with hysteria (this, apparently, was a real medical practice in the 1880’s); in the next room, the doctor’s wife deals with a newborn.

This is a fascinating look at marriage and desire and giving into pleasure. I would love to see a production of this one.
