The Effect at Progress Lab

A dark and timely thriller from the Emmy-winning writer of Succession, exploring passion, power, and pharmaceutical control

Rumble and ITSAZOO Productions unite for a thrilling production of Lucy Prebble’s The Effect, from November 7 to 22, 2025, at Progress Lab (1422 William Street) in Vancouver. This provocative, intimate thriller drops audiences inside a clinical trial where two volunteers test a dopamine-regulating drug under observation; as doses rise and attraction intensifies, the line between authentic feeling and chemical manipulation blurs. Tickets from $25 are available at rumble.org.
