Story for The Effect
A SIX TIMES CRITICS’ PICK
WINNER! Best New Play — UK Critics’ Circle
Hearts racing. Minds reeling. Knees buckling. Connie and Tristan have palpable chemistry—or is it a side effect of a new super-antidepressant? They are volunteers in a clinical trial, but their sudden and illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to face off over the ethical consequences of their work.

Critics’ Reviews for The Effect
"A HILARIOUS, TOUCHING, and MIND-BENDING PLAY about love and the chemicals that make us believe in it. THE MOST SATISFYING PIECE OF THEATER I've seen in months"
Forbes
"A KNOCKOUT! An ingenious ravishment of the senses."
Ben Brantley,
The New York Times
"Passionate and powerful! A smashing thriller, unwinding in fascinating directions."
