From his 1880s parlor and consulting room, Dr. Givings specializes in treating women for 'hysteria' with the help of the latest technology: the electric vibrator. When a new patient piques Mrs. Givings's curiosity about the groundbreaking treatment ministered in the next room, she is forced to confront the limits of her marriage and to listen to the music of her own body. An elegant comedy lit by unexpected sparks from the approaching era of electricity, psychoanalysis, and suffragettes, In the Next Room confirms Sarah Ruhl's status as one of the most imaginative contemporary American playwrights. Directed by Cláudio Medeiros '90. For mature audiences. Post-show discussion Friday evening. Sponsored by the Theatre Program. For mature audiences. Post-show discussion, Friday night only: Join the cast, director, and designers after the show for a Q&A session about the production and the creative journey leading up to it.
