Win tickets to In the Next Room at the Ensemble Theatre Festival
Set in the late 1800’s, at the dawn of electricity, In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play is a provocative, funny, touching, and marvellously entertaining story about a young doctor and his wife.
Dr. Givings utilizes the wondrous powers of the electrical age to provide a unique ‘cure’ for relieving the symptoms of female hysteria, providing them with a certain ‘something’ missing from their daily lives. His procedures are, of course, administered on a purely scientific basis. The good doctor’s wife, on the other hand, being starved of affection, is desperate for some passion in her life. Ruhl’s play covers subjects as diverse as race, religion, sex, equality, desire, motherhood and the odd paroxysm–all with a darkly comic touch of true Victorian stiff-upper-lip and some delightfully awkward moments.
Ensemble Theatre Festival’s presentation of In the Next Room plays at Jericho Arts Centre (1675 Discovery St) July 13 – August 17.
