Broadway Records has released music from The Effect (World Premiere Recording) digitally, featuring an immersive and cinematic, beat-driven score by Michael “Mikey J” Asante (Criminal Record, Kneecap Movie).
The bold production of Lucy Prebble’s The Effect, directed by Jamie Lloyd (A National Theatre Production in association with The Jamie Lloyd Company), is currently running at The Shed in NYC until March 31, 2024, following its acclaimed run at The National Theatre, London in 2023. The cast features Michele Austin, Paapa Essiedu, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, and Taylor Russell.
Hearts and minds racing, Connie and Tristan are falling for each other fast. But is their sudden and intoxicating chemistry real, or a side effect of a new antidepressant?
As two young volunteers in a clinical drug trial, their illicit romance poses startling dilemmas for the supervising doctors.
Notes Asante: “When asked by Jamie to compose the score, knowing the intimacy and visceral storytelling his shows wish to make, I asked him, ‘Why me?’ I am known for heavy beat-driven sonics and he said he wanted the audience to be enveloped by the music as soon as they entered the building, taking them on a thumping ride that we would see and feel as we journey with our two test subjects. It had to be bold, brash and abrasive at times, forcing the music into the bodies of our audience. I hopefully delivered that!”
