In The Effect by Lucy Prebble, two young volunteers enter a clinical drug trial and find themselves swept into an intense, undeniable attraction. But as the chemicals kick in, the line between what feels real and what could be a side effect blurs fast.
Vibrant, funny, and high-voltage, this production dives into the euphoria of new connection and the chaos that comes with it. Can you ever separate the mind from the heart… or is it all just dopamine?
