Abstract
Tristan and Connie, volunteers in a controlled drug test, fall in love—but is their chemistry real or induced? In the New England premiere of The Effect, Lucy Prebble’s funny and moving look at medicinal trial and error explores the depths of attraction and attachment, and wonders at the limits of medicine and the ever-elusive rules of the heart. Lucy Prebble’s The Effect comes to Gloucester direct from The National Theatre in London and an extended run at the Barrow Street Theatre in New York. The GSC production features Sam Weisman in his Gloucester Stage directing debut and a cast led by Saturday Night Live alum Brad Hall and GSC favorite and Academy Award nominated actress Lindsay Crouse.
Fight director, Robert Walsh.
