IN THE NEXT ROOM, OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY at Onstage Theater

Repertory Philippines (REP) stages the provocative and brilliant comedy written by multi-awarded playwright Sarah Ruhl.

At the dawn of electricity in 1880’s New York, gynecological and hysterical disorder expert Dr. Givings, played by New York-based actor and director Joshua Spafford, uses the newly invented electronic vibrator to induce orgasms--then called “paroxysms”--and relieve men and women of their so-called hysterical tendencies. All the action happens in his "operating theater," in other words his home clinic that is right next to his living room.

The production is directed by Chris Millado.
