In The Next Room,
or the vibrator play

By Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Aimée Hayes
Regional Premiere

September 8- 26, 2010

By the playwright who penned the Southern Rep favorite THE CLEAN HOUSE, this Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award Nominee by Sarah Ruhl is a provocative, funny, touching and marvelously entertaining story about a young doctor and his wife. Dr. Givings is obsessed with the marvels of technology and what they can do for his patients. His wife, Catherine, is only a bystander in her husband's world - listening at the door from the next room as he treats his female patients. Dr. Givings is not sure exactly how his new vibrating machine helps the women he treats - but they do keep coming back. The only woman whose problem is not helped by the doctor is his own wife who longs to connect with him - but not electrically.

 

"A woman who has never been allowed to listen to the music of her own body teaches her husband to discover the beauty in his own… a spirited and stimulating new comedy."
- Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
