The Effect

by Lucy Prebble

In House

8–11 November 2017

New Theatre

A clinical romance. Two young volunteers take part in a pharmaceutical drugs trial testing the effects of an antidepressant. During the trial they fall madly in love with one another – but are their feelings for each other genuine, or are they experiencing the effects of a drug labelled a Viagra for the heart. ‘The Effect’ is a funny, moving play exploring questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, asking what makes us who we are and how we love.

I entirely blame Sam Osborne for one scene in this show where I had a lighting cue each time the dialogue changed from person to person. — Ben Woodford 2017-11-24
I had so much fun with this show it will stay in my memory forever — Ben Woodford 2017-11-24
Somehow, despite lighting from all four sides, there still managed to be not an ounce of front light... — Sam Osborne 2019-06-25

Show Materials

A moving yet equally unsettling play, The Effect takes you through a series of intense emotions forcing you to look at the state of humanity and your own mental state. The cohesion of set, lighting and sound along with the talent of the cast and crew served to create this gripping and thoroughly impressive production.

Watching these four actors was like being a fly on the wall because the naturalistic way these four not only interact, but deliver the lines, doesn't come across as being part of a play. It's as if we weren't there. Kev Castle Reviews: http://kevcastletheatrereviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/the-effect-by-lucy-prebble-nottingham.html
