Synopsis
In a spa town in New York in the late 19th century, enthusiasm for the new electric light bulb is spreading through the homes of the well-to-do citizens. Dr Givings is obsessed with the marvels of technology and has been working with a handy new device, a strange electric-powered box set up in his operating theatre to treat female hysteria. Dr Givings' first patient emerges from her first session beaming and keen to return for future treatment. But while the good doctor is blithely administering to his patients, his wife, Catherine, a new mother, is left feeling lonely and left out, and forced to take matters into her own hands...
A provocative, funny, touching and marvelously entertaining story about a doctor and his wild obsessions with the marvels of vibrator technology.
Premiered in New York by the Berkley Repertory Theatre in 2009, followed by a Broadway premiere presented by Lincoln Center Theater in 2010, and nominated for three Tony awards including Best Play. In The Next Room has since been produced across the USA and as far afield as Peru and Australia. It received its UK premiere in May 2012.
