When a new treatment that promises to end pain appears, it pits doctor against student in an epic battle of altruism and ambition. The new drama Ether Dome tackles the big business of health care by exploring the true story of the discovery of ether as an anesthetic in 1846 Boston. The ecstasy of pain, the sweetness of relief and hysteria of profit all collide on stage in this riveting production from La Jolla Playhouse and Hartford Stage.
Presented by Huntington Theatre Company
