Should you ever have the opportunity to see "In the Next Room" or "The Vibrator Play" be sure to jump on it ! (pun intended.) I caught it at the Milwaukee Rep last weekend and it was a hoot! I didn't have great expectations but it was quite entertaining. It's about the use of vibrators in the late 1800's to treat women's "hysteria", a once common medical diagnosis, by bringing them to orgasm with what was then considered a clinical device. The result was called "paroxysm." The treatment was used for a number of ailments including "a tendency to cause trouble" haha!
Read about "female hysteria" here:

You can see it this coming winter here:

Brilliant! It's a different story but the same subject. I remember seeing trailers for this when it first came out but never saw it in wide release. I will look forward to it, thank you!
