ϳԹ the Play:
From Lucy Prebble, award-winning playwright, producer, and writer, comes “a story of love and neuroscience…”
The Effect is a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved. This funny, moving, and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology, and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction.
CONTENT NOTE: Some scenes in this play include sexual content, strong language, physical aggression, depictions of seizures and references to depression, anxiety, and suicide.
