Connie & Tristan meet in a controlled insitutional world, devoid of stimulus while participants trialing a new anti-depressant during a clinical drug trial. Finding true love is complex as the effect of the drugs alters the chemical composition of their brains. Is this real love real or a just side effect?  

Who can they trust inside the experiment as the effects of misinformation, manipulation & betrayal unravel around them. With the ever present gaze of Dr. James, who will win?  

The works are excerpts from Lucy Prebble's play 'The Effect'.
