Easter Week 4
Set in 1880s New York, well-respected gentleman and scientist Dr Givings has just started using his new medical tool, the vibrator, to treat ‘hysterical’ women (and some men!) in his operating theatre. Next door in the living room, his wife wonders what on earth is going on in the next room, while trying to care for their new-born baby. When Mr and Mrs Daldry arrive, bringing their wetnurse with them, Dr and Mrs Givings are forced to examine their own marriage, and what it means to be truly intimate.
Based on true historical fact, this play is a comedy about intimacy, marriage, and the vibrator.
