Sarofim School of Fine Arts’ Theatre Department is pleased to present “IN THE NEXT ROOM or the vibrator play” by Sarah Ruhl.

Set in the 1880s, IN THE NEXT ROOM or the vibrator play follows the lives of a young doctor and his wife and the women he is treating for “hysteria” with a newfangled machine that could only be invented by the onset of electricity. This funny and provocative play was nominated for three Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award, and a Pulitzer Prize nomination for playwright Sarah Ruhl.  The New York Times calls Sarah Ruhl, “… one of the most gifted and adventurous American playwrights to emerge in recent years”
