I haven't had much time to blog lately, but this play only runs through February 26th so I want you have an opportunity to see it. It's a funny, sexy, romp of a play, well-acted, well-staged. It's set at the turn of the last century in a time when ladies were ladies and gentlemen were gentlemen. If you try to kiss someone, it's a scandal. Yet, what's going on above board "in the next room" in the doctor's "surgery" (or treatment office) is hilarious and sexy by our standards and by theirs, is it?
The New Yorker would have us believe that this is historically accurate. Women in this era routinely went for this particular type of treatment for their "hysteria."
See it, but maybe if you take your mother, don't sit next to her.
