Description

A 2010 Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony nominee for Best Play, Sarah Ruhl's provocative and touching comedy is set in the 1880s -- a time when electricity was a brand new technology. Back then, doctors believed that women who were troublemakers or suffered from nervous disorders were afflicted with "hysteria," which could be cured by treatment with one of the first appliances created with the new technology of electricity: the vibrator. "In the Next Room" centers on a doctor and his wife, who are dealing with issues of intimacy and jealousy. When the doctor's wife hears strange sounds emanating from the treatment room and sees patients glowing on their way out, she is determined to investigate. Ranging from the tender to the farcical, this smart comedy ponders marriage and intimacy, and how electricity came along to fuse them.
