The Forgetting Curve

The Forgetting Curve A new play about the cost of leaving a legacy. Based on the true story of Patient HM.

Desperate to cure his epilepsy, a young man underwent an experimental neurosurgery in 1953 -- shockingly, the procedure destroyed his brain's ability to form new memories. Now known as Patient HM, he became widely studied, and his fascinating case serves as inspiration for The Forgetting Curve, a new play told in a non-linear style through the lens of fictional neuroscientist, Dr. Laura Nebbens. S

he has studied HM for several decades, and on the eve of accepting a prestigious award, struggles to reconcile all she has sacrificed to leave the legacy of her life's work. Both she and HM have made significant contributions to the scientific community, and the human race -- but at what cost?
