In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play at Syracuse Stage

In a quiet home office, a doctor experiments with a new instrument for treating “hysteria.” The device? A vibrator. In this genuinely touching, original, and wickedly funny play, Sarah Ruhl (The Clean House) explores relationships and sexual fulfillment while managing to stay discreetly beneath the crisp white sheets of Victorian propriety. May Adrales (Chinglish) returns to direct this tastefully stimulating play that’s both social commentary and comedy.
