In the Next Room or the vibrator play at Tarragon Theatre

At the dawn of the age of electricity an ambitious doctor uses a newfangled device—the vibrator—to induce paroxysms in his female patients. His young wife is fascinated with the sounds emanating from the next room. Can this new gadget solve the age-old problems of love?

Sarah Ruhl’s plays have been produced across the US and include The Clean House (Pulitzer Prize finalist, 2005; Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, 2004). In the Next Room was a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was nominated for the 2010 Tony Award for Best Play.
