Description
About the Show: Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife Catherine tries to tend to their newborn daughter-and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient, Sabrina, and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.
We love this play for its humor, honesty, and magical healing. It celebrates the kind of love that only happens when we allow ourselves to be seen.
Production contains sexual content and partial nudity.
