Serious Adverse Effects ​is a sci-fi afro-futuristic play that follows an unconventional scientist, Dr. Vye. As Dr. Vye is on the cusp of a cure for a mysterious disease, she must find forgiveness from Paula to complete her research. With no reason to trust Dr. Vye, Paula must embrace the transformative potential of her own healing. From the marvels of the modern laboratory to the inner depths of the human psyche, Serious Adverse Effects is an imaginative contemporary drama inspired by the resilience of African-American women in the twenty-first century.
