The Vibrator Play

Last night, Kristen and I along with another couple went out to the Berkeley Repertory Theater. The Berkeley Rep is a small independent theater group that we've been trying to visit for a while.  Our friends Randy and Mandy, from Texas, are out for work so we met up to catch a show.  Our choices were "Crime and Punishment" or "In the Next Room."  I wasn't sure about "In the Next Room," but I knew "Crime and Punishment" wasn't a comedy so I went with the alternative. 

The play is hilarious.  It's about a Victorian era doctor who cures women (and a man) of their "hysteria."  He uses a new electronic "instrument" to induce an orgasm!  The wild ride the characters have after their sessions are humorous.  Everything was going great for this play until the last few minutes. Then things really got strange. Lets just say we saw way more than we bargained for from the leading man.  

I imagine I'll probably need to see a hundred more plays to witness an ending like this again.
