Sydney Theatre Company’s first main stage production for 2011, the Australian premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s In The Next Room or The Vibrator Play will have an extra week of performances at the Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House.

The show will now close there on Saturday, April 2, 2011.

Pamela Rabe directs Jacqueline McKenzie as Catherine Givings, an 1880’s woman whose husband Dr Givings (David Roberts) marvels at the effectiveness of a newfangled electric invention he uses to administer remedial treatment to women suffering from ‘hysteria’.

The other much praised cast members are Josh McConville, Mandy McElhinney, Marshall Napier, Helen Thomson and Sara Zwangobani.

After the Sydney season ends on April 2, the production will tour to Melbourne Theatre Company (from 7 April), Illawarra Performing Arts Centre Wollongong (from 1 June), Canberra Theatre Centre (from 8 June) and Riverside Theatre, Parramatta (from 15 June).
