The Effect at Gloucester Stage (a.k.a. Gorton Theatre)

Are Connie and Tristan really in love, or is it just the antidepressants talking? As volunteers in a clinical trial for a new super-drug, their sudden and illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to intervene and confront the ethics of what they're doing. After playing at The National Theatre in London and off-Broadway at the Barrow Street Theatre, The Effect comes to the Gloucester Stage starring SNL alum Brad Hall and Academy Award nominee Lindsay Crouse. See this funny and moving look at our pill-popping culture that The New York Times called "a knockout, a ravishment of the senses."
