I can tell the difference between who I am and a side effect.The Effect is a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved. This funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction.Following on from the critical and commercial success of Enron, The Effect offers a vibrant theatrical exploration into the human brain via the heart. It received its world premiere at the National Theatre's Cottesloe Theatre in November 2012, starring Billie Piper and Jonjo O'Neill. It is published here in the Modern Classics series alongside an introduction by Miriam Gillinson. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Tristan and Connie are subjects in a research experiment determining the effectiveness of a new anti-depressant drug. Each are being paid for their time since the subjects will reside in the research facilities for the next month. Connie elected to do this since she is majoring in psychology. Tristan, another college student, has done similar research before is primarily doing it for the money. During the course of the experiment the two will fall in love and their intimate behaviors may jeopardize the integrity of the research design. Is their love a side effect of the anti-depressant or is it natural? Since one is on a placebo, what motivates his or her love?
I enjoyed reading this play and hope to see it in production sometime. ( )
