It looks like the playwrights really have fun with language in these period pieces. ( ) Farcical play with a doctor who helps women with hysteria. He does not want his wife meeting his patients but she is in the thick of things as she meets his patients and their families. Everyone misunderstands what others are saying leading to some comical scenes. I enjoyed this play. It was fun and a quick read. Very interesting. I knew the fact of how "hysterical" women used to be "treated" so the play didn't teach me anything new, but it is a well fleshed exploration of this historical fact. Still, this play's main theme is about how we humans get love, in all its facets, so wrong and so right. I'd be interested to know how it plays on stage. Seems it would be poignantly funny (is that possible?). aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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.
