With Tamara Harvey's production of Pride &Prejudice to open shortly in the Crucible, Artistic Director Daniel Evans presents Lucy Prebble's The Effect -Stuart Bunce (Toby), Priyanga Burford (Dr James), Ophelia Lovibond (Connie), Henry Pettigrew (Tristan). The production opens on 30 June, with previews from 25 June, and runs until 18 July.

Tristan and Connie are strangers who are brought together during a pharmaceutical drug trial. Isolated in a unit, as the dosage increases, so too does their mutual attraction. Very soon, they're breaking all the rules.

Lucy Prebble's award-winning play, which premièred at the National Theatre in 2012 winning the Critics' Circle Award for Best New Play, explores the psychology of love, the mysteries of the brain and what really makes us who we are.
