The Wonder Drug

Performers Todd Schwartz and Connor Eastman Rufflings Productions, LLC • Semi-professional company

55 minutes•Space 3
Would you take an experimental drug to feel your feelings? The Wonder Drug examines the nature of "recovery" through the interactions of two drifters who move from strangers to frenemies to friends in this new play by Kansas-based playwright Daniel Born. The play connects two emotionally disabled men through their participation in an experiment that uses a drug to elicit empathy. But does this psychotropic drug have unintended consequences? The Wonder Drug takes a compassionate look into male social interactions and emphasises that sometimes all we need is outside our door.
