What a pleasure it is to encounter a near-perfect production of a play by one of the most exciting young playwrights in the world: Sara Ruhl. Still in her mid-30s, she was nominated for both a Tony and the Pulitzer Prize for her witty, raunchy and admirably serious play about 19th century sexuality In the Next Room or the vibrator play.
