The Effect

Theres no such thing as side effects, Toby, theyre just effects you cant sell.The Effect is a clinical romance.

Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial.

Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved.This funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction.This play marks the return of Cameron Watson as director after the success of his directorial debut Bull.

This promises to be a challenging and thrilling night of theatre.Content Warning: The Effect contains strong language, scenes of a sexual nature, distressing themes and strobe lighting effects.
