Ketamine (aka Kit-Kat, Special K)
Original Post
Drug used as an anesthetic in the experiments with a platypus to insert electrodes under the skin to monitor the brain. It has been used on humans in surgery, and also recreationally in clubs (K-holes). It gives a hallucinatory, out of body experience, where the physical body moves very slowly. Interestingly enough, it is now being investigated as a radical treatment for the rapid relief of chronic depression, in Brisbane of all places. I discovered this after I wrote the play. But there is a quality of lifting out of the body, reaching beyond the self, which Prozak experiences in the “skyhook” which is part of her healing.

There doesn't appear to be any comments yet.
