The Effect Reviews

A HILARIOUS, TOUCHING, and MIND-BENDING PLAY about love and the chemicals that make us believe in it. THE MOST SATISFYING PIECE OF THEATER I've seen in months
Forbes

A KNOCKOUT! An ingenious ravishment of the senses.
Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Passionate and powerful! A smashing thriller, unwinding in fascinating directions.
New York Magazine
