A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Short Play, Drama / 1any gender (adult)
Mark Ravenhill
If you could cure thousands of a fatal disease by experimenting on a single child, would you do it?
Note from Mark Ravenhill: I'm happy for any of the parts to be played by whoever, whatever gender. The gendered casting is only a suggestion and the parts are open to anyone wherever they are on the gender spectrum.
"Mark Ravenhill keeps things creepy in his monologue, The Experiment, in which he plays the satiny-voiced, slippery narrator… The story, and the narrator's level of complicity, keeps shifting. Ravenhill asks us to consider which version, if any, might be acceptable, and how much we might be willing to avert our eyes from for the greater good." - Independent
"Crammed with slippery language, it evokes a vortex of atrocity from fairytales to Mengele and Medea." - The Times
