The Effect is a sharp, provocative exploration of love, neuroscience, and the blurry line between emotion and chemistry. Set inside a clinical drug trial, the play follows two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, who begin to fall for each other—only to question whether their feelings are real or the result of a new antidepressant. As their connection deepens, the experiment unravels, forcing doctors and patients alike to confront questions of identity, autonomy, and the ethics of medicating the human mind. With moments of comedy, compassion, and thrills, this play defies genre and has something to engage a diverse audience of theater goers. It is a show that will have you talking about it for more than just the ride home.
THE EFFECT is a 2012 U.K Critics Circle Award Winner for Best New Play. Lucy Prebble is best known for her critically acclaimed play, ENRON, and is an Emmy Award Winner (HBO's Succession).
THE EFFECT contains adult language and situations, and is recommended for audiences of high school age and older.
