In the Next Room or the Vibrator Play by Sarah Ruhl

5.0

A fantastic play about hysteria, loneliness, motherhood, jealousy, and love. Dr. Givings specializes in helping cure hysterical women with the use of an electric vibrator. When Mrs. Givings hears the reactions of her husband's male and female patients in the other room, she wants him to try the treatment on her. This play definitely needs to be seen because there are so many scenes that happen simultaneously (the doctor's office and the living room share the stage).
