Description
The Effect is a clinical romance that explores the boundaries between love and medicine. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial, but their feelings for each other soon throw the trial off course. This play delves into questions of sanity, neurology, and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty, and physical attraction. As Tristan and Connie navigate their emotions, they challenge the clinicians involved in the trial, highlighting the complexities of the human brain. The Effect is a moving and humorous exploration of the human experience, one that offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of love and science. Published in the Modern Classics series, this edition includes an introduction by Miriam Gillinson, providing further insight into the play's themes and context.
