In the Next Room (Or the Vibrator Play)

In The Next Room is a laugh-out-loud, dramatic comedy with a fresh take on the history and politics of relationships, science and electricity. Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating “hysteria” in women. While tending to her newborn, the young, energetic Mrs. Givings is overwhelmed by curiosity, fantasizing about what could be happening within the walls of the good doctor’s laboratory in the next room. Inside of the pristine, seemingly perfect Victorian home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings examine the nature of their marriage, and what it means to honestly love.
