Topic: Sarah Ruhl

A host describes a stressful Valentine's Day in Austin, which included a last-minute search for flowers and attending a performance of "In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)" by Sarah Ruhl at the Zack Theater. During the play, an audience member suffered a heart attack, prompting the host's wife to call for medical assistance and stop the performance. This marks the third time the host has witnessed a medical emergency in a public setting, including a previous incident at a University of Texas football game.
