The Effect - By Lucy Prebble

“Hearts racing. Minds reeling. Knees buckling. Connie and Tristan have palpable chemistry—or is it a side effect of a new antidepressant? They are volunteers in a clinical trial, but their sudden and illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to face off over the ethical consequences of their work. THE EFFECT takes on our pill-popping culture with humor and scintillating drama.” - Dramatists Play Service.

Pride and Prejudice - A Devised Adaptation

This reimagined production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a collaborative, devised project in which we frame the text through contemporary fandom and the desires of the minoritarian reader.
