The Effect is a clinical romance where two volunteers, Connie and Tristan take part in a drug trial; but things do not go according to plan and as the play unfolds, everyone's sanity is challenged, and it is unclear who is being studied or tested, the clinician or the volunteers. The ultimate question is, is the love real or a chemicall- induced side effect of the research drug? It is a moving, humorous piece of theatre which questions the truth of each character and their relationship with each other.
