By Sarah Ruhl. Hailed as “one of the most gifted and adventurous American playwrights” by The New York Times, Sarah Ruhl has created a smart, classy and touching comedy about marriage, intimacy and how electricity came along to fuse them. In a prim Victorian home, a gentleman doctor innocently invents a most extraordinary device for treating “hysteria.” As his wife listens in the next room, long dormant thoughts and feelings begin to stir deep within her. This beguiling play about love, longing, science and invention was a 2010 Tony Award® Nominee for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
