The fast paced drama about love and antidepressants by Lucy Prebble comes back to the virtual stage after a successful run in 2017.
Written by Lucy Prebble, directed by Sam Weisman.
Hearts racing. Minds reeling. Knees buckling. Connie and Tristan have palpable chemistry – or is it a side effect of a new antidepressant? They are volunteers in a clinical trial, but their sudden and illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to face off over the ethical consequences of their work. THE EFFECT takes on pill-popping culture with humor and scintillating drama.
Originally presented at Gloucester Stage in 2017 (Regional Premiere) to critical acclaim, this archival viewing provides audiences a second chance to experience THE EFFECT. Featuring a star-studded cast including Saturday Night Live alum Brad Hall, Academy Award nominated actress Lindsay Crouse, Susannah Hoffman, and Mickey Solis.
