THE EFFECT
By Lucy Prebble
Directed By Alison Ruth
Featuring Christina Baldwin
March 1 - 30, 2025
When Connie and Tristan sign up for a clinical trial to test a new antidepressant, they fall for each other—hearts racing, knees buckling—hard. But are their feelings real or nothing more than a dopamine-fueled side effect?
Sealed off from the outside world, their illicit romance throws the trial off course, posing unexpected dilemmas for the supervising doctors; and as the dosage and emotional stakes increase, THE EFFECT keeps audiences guessing, asking which is more powerful—the head or the heart?
Lucy Prebble’s (Succession) razor sharp writing delves into the medicalization of depression for profit by the pharmaceutical industry.
