The production I have watched is “The Effect” which is written by Lucy Prebble, presented by Pangdemonium, directed by Tracie Pang, and performed at the Victoria Theatre. The Effect’s “action” demonstrates how present-day human beings are victims of their physiological and psychological behaviours, as well as the role of antidepressants in the mitigation of depression, through a four-week confinement in a clinical trial.
