When Bella Baird, an isolated creative writing professor at Yale, begins to mentor a brilliant but enigmatic student named Christopher, the two form an unexpectedly intense bond. As their lives and the stories they tell about themselves become intertwined in unpredictable ways, Bella makes a surprising request of Christopher that neither knows if he can fulfill. Brimming with suspense, Rapp’s riveting play explores the limits of what one person can ask of another. “A gripping mystery. An astonishing new play." // The New York Times
By Lucy Prebble Directed by Mitchell Cushman STARRING: Leah Doz, Jordan Pettle, Aris Athanasopoulos JULY 9 - JULY 30, 2023 // Tuesdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm (except Sunday Preview performance at 7:30pm) // PREVIEWS: July 9, July 11 & July 12 at 7:30pm // OPENING NIGHT: July 13 at 7:30pm SET DESIGN AND PROPS: TBA // COSTUME DESIGN: Cindy Dzib // SOUND DESIGN AND COMPOSITION: James Smith // INTIMACY DIRECTION: TBD // STAGE MANAGEMENT: Tamara Vuckovic // PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT: Bryan Steele The Effect is a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved. This funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction. “As in Enron, Prebble writes with a really impressive command of complex ideas, and her mix of the personal and the political is here nearly perfect … The result is humane and compelling … intensive, stimulating and moving … what might well be the best new play of the year.” // Aleks Sierz, Arts Desk The world premiere of The Effect was co-produced by Headlong and performed at the National Theatre's Cottesloe Theatre from November 2012-23 February 2013, starring Billie Piper and Jonjo O'Neill.
