When certain—ahem—“ailments” cannot be resolved, a doctor resolves to administer a novel treatment… involving an electromechanical vibrator. Written by the playwright Sarah Ruhl, In the Next Room or The Vbrator Play was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award-nominated production for best new play. At once a humorous send up of 19th-century patriarchal society, the production also examines the advent and spread of electricity. Costume designer Kathleen O’Brien, known for her spot-on recreations of Victorian garb, will help bring this period piece to life.
