"Ably assisting director Vivienne Benesch in making her theatrical magic are assistant director Lauren Klingman, production manager Michael Rolleri, set designer Marion Williams, costume designer Anne Kennedy, lighting designer Scott Bolman, and sound designer/engineer Ryan Gastelum — all of whom do yeoman’s work in transposing this play from its normal proscenium-stage setting to the thrust stage of the Paul Green Theatre." -Robert W.

IN THE NEXT ROOM (or the vibrator play)
by Sarah Ruhl Playmakers Repertory Company
“In the Next Room takes us back to the late 18th-century home office of Dr. Givings, a progressive inventor who, with his new electrical ‘vibrating machine,’ is bringing relief to women — and even a few men– suffering from hysteria. Meanwhile, his energetic and curious wife Catherine languishes alone in the living room, guilty about not being able to breast-feed their new baby and feeling ignored by her husband, who seems far more engaged with his work than his wife. She soon becomes obsessed with discovering what is in fact happening ‘in the next room.’
