A subtle Pulitzer- and Tony Award – nominated American comedy taking place in the end of the 19th century, when electricity was new and when science thought that vibrators could cure female ‘hysteria’. Ruhl introduces us to a doctor - who is processed with techonological prosperity - and his young unhappy wife. However, as much as the doctor is thrilled with the effect of his works, his wife is longing for intimacy and love. Premiered at The Lincoln Center New York in 2009.
