The Story

At the dawn of the age of electricity, Dr. Givings has found a remarkable new invention for what at the time was called “hysteria.”  As his young wife listens in the next room, the doctor treats his patients to a brand new experience, stimulating thoughts and feelings long dormant in stifled Victorian society and his own marriage.  Fascinatingly funny and elegantly evocative, Sarah Ruhl immerses us in an exploration of traditional values and secret desires. 2010 Tony Award nominee for Best Play.
