Fierce, funny, and devastating, it needles at the deepest questions of love and identity in an age ruled by chemistry and control.“I can tell the difference between who I am and a side effect.”From the writer of Succession and I Hate Suzie, Lucy Prebble’s The Effect marks Bardic Theatre’s return to the Lyric after the sell-out triumphs of The Ferryman and The Snapper.The Effect is part romance, part experiment, part ticking time bomb-a razor-sharp play exploring intimacy and anxiety, where the longing for connection collides with the fear of the artificial.Starring Kevin Canavan (Dracula, Lyric Drama Studio), Anna McCloskey, Máire Coyle and Declan McGrath, this stark, charged production is directed by James Murphy (The Ferryman, Tall Tales & Murder).With atmospheric design from award-winning lighting designer James C.

McFetridge and set designer Stuart Marshall, this impactful 2023 production now makes its way to the Lyric Studio.Please note this is a community theatre production.
