In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play

I do not read many plays, but this one sounded too awesome to pass up. The world I entered was…bizarre to say the least. This play…is the story of how the vibrator was invented.

So there is a doctor. And he treats depressed women. With a modern technological device. What will eventually become the vibrator. And it works! His patients adore his methods and he cures them of depression.

However. The good doctor has a wife. Who is highly depressed, and feels that he doesn’t give her enough love and attention. Eventually, after some experimentation with the doctor’s methods, the doctor and his wife grow closer together.

I can only imagine what this play must be like to watch/act. Seriously. Embarrassing. I don’t think I could sit in the audience and watch this play. The whole plot revolves around vibrators! But, I am embarrassed easily. Maybe for those who have seen it live it comes off as quite funny rather than serious.

This play receives 3.5 stars for the interesting, entertaining content.
