Featuring onstage org*sms and clinical applications of electric vibrators,
Sarah Ruhl's
fascinating and often funny glimpse into a patriarchal society opens Pear Theatre's next season. Directed by Caroline Clark, this insightful and provocative play examines a slice of American history in which physicians treated various female (and male) ailments by use of an electric vibrator, in a world where women's concerns are regularly dismissed or misdiagnosed by men, as well as by the women themselves, because their society has not given them the words or concepts to articulate their various griefs and grievances. The New Yorker called Ruhl's play "her best to date."
