THE EFFECT by Lucy Prebble, on at the National Theatre 1st August – 23rd September
April 19, 2023 |
Who I am
Is not
A side effect.
Hearts and minds racing, Connie and Tristan are falling for each other fast. But is their sudden and intoxicating chemistry real, or a side effect of a new antidepressant?
As two young volunteers in a clinical drug trial, their illicit romance poses startling dilemmas for the supervising doctors.
Jamie Lloyd (Cyrano de Bergerac, The Seagull) directs Lucy Prebble’s (I Hate Suzie, Enron) funny and intimate examination of love and ethics.
Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) plays Tristan and Taylor Russell (Bones and All) plays Connie.
Tickets available from 27th April HERE
