If you long for a time when an ankle was breathtaking, when a well-turned calf or the touch of a hand across a teapot caused palpitations, then this is the play for you.
Dr Givings is an inventor obsessed with the new miracle of electricity. His wife, a frustrated free spirit, craves romantic love, sensuality, and excitement with her buttoned-up husband, who has more passion for science than for, well, passion. She longs to connect with him—but not electrically.
A funny, touching and stimulating new comedy about love, longing, science and invention, IN THE NEXT ROOM or the vibrator play was nominated for both the Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize, and was a resounding hit when it opened on Broadway in 2009, consolidating Sarah Ruhl’s reputation as one of America’s most imaginative and effervescent contemporary playwrights.
