next-room-poster-final A finalist for the Pulitzer Prizc, In the Next Room or the vibrator play is a touching and comical love story about a young doctor and his wife in the Victorian age, and it opens at Burien Actors Theatre this Friday, Feb. 12, and continues through March 6. The performance will also feature specialty drinks themed to the show, as well as free on-site parking, plus an opening night party. Here’s the synopsis:

“IN THE NEXT ROOM, or the vibrator play” Dr. Givings is obsessed with the marvels of technology and what they can do for his patients. He isn’t sure exactly how the vibrators help the women he treats–but they keep coming back. The only woman who isn’t helped is his own wife, who longs to connect with him – but not electrically. Written by Sarah Ruhl, In the Next Room, or the vibrator play explores the Victorian era repression—and what happens when the rules are broken.
This show is suitable for ages 16 and older due to adult content and brief nudity. Ticket prices range from $7 to $20. Student tickets are just $10.
