Last Chance: Play With a 'Good Buzz' Closes This Weekend
"In the Next Room or the vibrator play" brings adult laughs to Bridgehampton.
Sarah Ruhl's comedy about love and sexuality during the emergence of readily available electricity, "In The Next Room or the vibrator play," continues in Bridgehampton, put on by Hamptons Independence Theatre Festival and the Naked Stage.
In 2009, The New York Times called the play a "fanciful but compassionate" look at the treatment — and mistreatment — of women during the late 19th century.
"'Next Room' gives such good vibrations that it’s been one of the top seven plays done in America for the last two years," according to HITfest, which noted that the play was nominated for three Tonys.

The cast of the Long Island premiere includes Licia James Zegar, Glenn Thomas Cruz, Bonnie Grice, Caroline Smith, Joseph Brondo, Natasha Murray and Christian Scheider.
The final performances are 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Bridgehampton Community House. Tickets are $25 available at nextroom.eventbrite.com.
