3. In The Next Room or The Vibrator Play – a comedy about marriage, intimacy, and electricity.

In a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating “hysteria” in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator.
