The Effect

"The Effect" by Lucy Prebble is a play about love, human connections, and the search for authenticity in a world marked by division and digitalization. Awarded Best New British Play at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards in 2012, "The Effect" tells the story of two volunteers in a clinical trial for a new antidepressant who fall in love and are left questioning whether this is a real feeling or just a chemical reaction. A story that raises questions about the boundaries between science and humanity, the price of discoveries, and the eternal mystery of love.
