The Cast, Crew & Director of "In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play" joined the Morning Show Hosts of The Daily Wave on Wildcat 91.9

The Daily Wave invited Jackson Berland to host a chat with the director and cast of the next K-State Music, Theatre and Dance play "In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play".

Insight was given about how this play has come together and what it has taken to pull it off. Read more about the play with the synopsis provided below.

Synopsis: Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity and based on the bizarre historical fact that doctors used vibrators to treat 'hysterical' women (and some men), the play centers on a doctor and his wife and how his new therapy affects their entire household.

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. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife tries to tend to their newborn daughter—and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.

The opening night will be April 20, 2023 at 7:30pm in Mark A. Chapman Theatre, Nichols Hall.
