The Effect
About the Show
A chemical romance? Connie and Tristan are participants in a clinical trial for a new antidepressant drug. As their doses increase, their mutual attraction deepens. Can they trust their feelings - or is this just a side-effect? Complicating the story, the two doctors overseeing the trial have a shared history which colours their professional relationship and compromises the ethics of the experiment. Playwright Lucy Prebble also wrote the hit play Enron and writes for TV’s ground-breaking series Succession. Here she explores the ethical minefield of love, depression, neuroscience and the age-old conflict between the head and heart.
