At the dawn of the electrical age, a new medical device is developed to pacify "hysterical" women, but it produces a shockingly different result. Pulitzer Prize-nominee Sarah Ruhl, creator of Dead Man's Cell Phone and The Clean House, returns to Woolly with a richly textured comedy about marriage, motherhood, and the charged energy between our bodies.

In the Next Room, or the vibrator play kicks off Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company's 31st season: A Striptease of Your Subconscious. Each play samples a different flavor of American civilization-and its most uncivilized desires. From our fetish for youth and beauty to our obsessions with sex and race, these daring shows confront all that we repress and all that we reveal. Single tickets for the remainder of the season will go on sale Monday, August 2nd.

In addition to In the Next Room, or the vibrator play, 2010-2011 season productions include:

Written and directed by Robert O'Hara

Robert O'Hara just took home a Helen Hayes Award for Antebellum, and he's cooking up an even saucier dish for us now.
