In 1953 Henry Molaison emerges from experimental brain surgery
without any recollection of the last two years of his life, or the
ability to form new memories.
In 2009 Patient H.M.'s brain is dissected live on the internet
to a global audience of 400,000 people, cut into carefully
preserved slices; manuscripts of tissue like the pages of a
book.
Inspired by the world's most important neuroscientific
case-study, 2401 Objects tells the remarkable story of a
man who could no longer remember, but who has proven impossible to
forget.
2401 Objects made it's debut at the 2011 Edinburgh
Festival Fringe, where it picked up a coveted Fringe
First award.
