The Effect

Yard Dogs presents Lucy Prebble’s The Effect

What impulses define who we really are? As Connie and Tristan participate in a clinical drug trial, their connection grows into something intoxicating. But is it genuine love, or just a side effect of the new antidepressant they’re testing? Meanwhile, the supervising doctors grapple with their own ethical dilemmas—where does science end, and human emotion begin?

Written by Emmy Award winner Lucy Prebble (HBO’s Succession, Enron), The Effect is a gripping exploration of love, neuroscience, and morality. This bold and intimate production by Yard Dogs places the audience inside the experiment, blurring the lines between observer and participant.

Join us for this electrifying theatrical experience, where passion and science collide in a strictly limited engagement.
