The Effect, which won the 2012 U.K. Critics Circle Award for Best New Play, officially opened Off-Broadway March 20 to favorable reviews. The new work, helmed by David Cromer, began previews March 2 at the Barrow Street Theatre and is a collaboration between National Theatre of Great Britain’s North American wing, Barrow Street and Jean Doumanian Productions.

The play follows the relationship between psychology student Connie and “charming drifter” Tristan, both volunteers in a clinical trial. The cast features Kati Brazda (Our Town), Susannah Flood ( Tribes, Love and Information), George Demas, Carter Hudson (The Substance of Fire) and Steve Key (August: Osage County.)
