As two young volunteers in a clinical drug trial, their illicit romance poses startling dilemmas for the supervising doctors.

Jamie Lloyd (Cyrano de Bergerac) directs Lucy Prebble’s (Succession) funny and intimate examination of love and ethics.

Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) plays Tristan and Taylor Russell (Bones and All) plays Connie.

Taylor Russell is a beautiful young woman and a gifted actress!! She is simply a beautiful artist ❤️

Doing this show together and playing Connie and Tristan is what cemented mine and my boyfriends actual relationship! Really hope it gets a live stream I am desperate to see it performed by professionals x

Hopefully, this really interesting theatrical topic has a film theatre live screening.

Otherwise I'll miss out on what looks like a well acted and important story.

This is the first time that Taylor has a black love interest

This play "The Effect", the movie "Hope", and the movie "Max Delusion" with Taylor Russell and Makell Bird, are 3 things that I'm looking forward to!

The marketing people should be sacked. This tells me nothing about the show.
