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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing on from the critical and commercial success of \u003ci\u003eEnron\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Effect\u003c\/i\u003e offers a vibrant theatrical exploration into the human brain via the heart.
