The Effect
Connie and Tristan meet; symptoms develop. Racing hearts. Lost appetites. Erratic emotions. Is this the frenzy of falling in love, or simply the side effects of the new anti-depressant drug they’re testing? Addiction comes hard and fast. But have the clinicians running the trial lost control?
Award-winning writer Lucy Prebble places modern medicine under the microscope, examining the fallout from a collision between love and science. This first London revival of The Effect is directed by Anthony Neilson.

Observations
-
Somewhat tragically, this production never played to an audience. It had completed rehearsals and was in its final technical rehearsals in the theatre before it was postponed and later cancelled. This was due to all UK theatres being closed in the UK lockdown on March 16th 2020, due to COVID-19.
