The National Theatre announces The Effect by Lucy Prebble (Succession), in association with The Jamie Lloyd Company is joining National Theatre at Home on 9 January 2024.
Filmed during its run on the Lyttelton stage at the National Theatre in London, the ‘glorious’ (★★★★★ Mail on Sunday) production, directed by Jamie Lloyd, sees two young volunteers in a clinical drug trial, when their illicit romance poses startling dilemmas for the supervising doctors.

Audiences globally* can stream the unmissable Paapa Essiedu (The Lazarus Project) and Taylor Russell (Bones and All) in this ‘tender, thrilling and elegantly brutal’ (★★★★★ The Stage) examination of love and ethics, alongside Michele Austin (This Is Going to Hurt, Cyrano de Bergerac) and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Tina Turner: The Musical).
