In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)
"In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)" is about the early history of the vibrator, when doctors used it as a clinical device to bring women to orgasm as treatment for "hysteria."
Other themes include Victorian ignorance of female sexual desire, motherhood, breastfeeding, and jealousy. The play by Sarah Ruhl was nominated for three 2010 Tony Awards. (Wikipedia)
