The EFFECT Play by Lucy Prebble – directed by Ádám Horgas

Production translated by Tibor Puskás.

… Continuing experience with photos …

Story in a nutshell … It contrasts scientific objectivity with the mysteries of the heart, dry data with the unknowability of both of their emotions. Already while waiting for them to enter the institution, you can see how much in the air between them is blooming. However, the doubt whether their burgeoning love is real or just the side effect of the experimental pill they are givn. Deep emotions, but tension spiced with humor. Worthwhile to see the performance with excellent actors!

I hope that the day will come when the plays will be shown on a projector in the Central Theater with English subtitles, so that foreigners will also be able to experience the talented Hungarian actors on stage.

It is true that the organizers have only revealed four names for now in the spirit of mystery, but these performers already clearly demonstrate the diversity of Picnic’s style. Lukas Graham, representing the pop and soul genres, is a great success with everyone from the youngest generation to older music consumers, and their concerts are characterized by intimate musical storytelling in addition to their energetic presence, which will create a unique atmosphere on the Friday of the festival. Among the audience favorites, the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire Experience by Al McKay has proven itself at Piknik several times and will enchant Picnicers with their usual classic American, funky, R’n’B vibes next year as well. The Austrian Deladap gave one of the most memorable performances at JazzPicnic in 2021, and the high-temperature electro-swing sound will certainly not be missed next year.

The EFFECT Play by Lucy Prebble is Coming to the CENTRAL THEATER – BUDAPEST

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

On Friday, December 6,. 7 p.m. new premiere on the stage at Budapest’s Central Theater.

The Effect is the latest play written by Lucy Prebble. At th Centrál Theater directed by Ádám Horgas,and it will be performed by Éva Botos, Tibor Fehér, and two excellent guest artists, Dorka Gáspárfalvi and Tibor Mertz.

Judy Prebble English playwrite, play was premiered 12 years ago, received great success and won the Critics’ Award for Best Drama that year. The play was re-performed in an updated form at London’s Lyttelton Theater in 2023 and this year at The Shed in New York.

Just a veiw what to see … The modern four-person-play deals with the impact anti depressants can have on emotions and character. The Effect is about a clinical romance in how much does our brain make us what we are, and how much does our behaviour influence our brain, particularly when it comes to love? In Lucy Prebble drama she examines what makes us human and the nature of love. It’s a dizzying journey, ful of emotion, shock and stimulation for that blob of grey matter. The dialogue is not only snappy and funny and sad, but extraordinarily natural as two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial.

The frustration of the clinicians involved and the attraction of love in some parts is funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction

The Effect with warmth, humour and intelligence, timely and provocative play is guaranteed to keep you debating long after the lights come up.

The Effect on stage from Friday, December 6,. 7 p.m. and for the time being ongoing to Thursday January, 23. 2025. 7 p.m.
