Dobama Announces Next Production In Cleveland Heights

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Dobama Theatre's next show will be "The Effect", a play by Lucy Prebble. The show explores depression, romance and the thrilling line that separates the two.

Dobama describes the play like this. "Connie and Tristan are volunteers in a clinical drug trial, but when they begin a sudden and illicit romance they must ask themselves: is theirs a palpable chemistry - or is it a side effect of the new antidepressant being tested? As their relationship forces the supervising doctors to face off over the ethical consequences of their work, the story begins to unwind in a script that plays like a thriller."

Dobama's production will be directed by Laley Lippard. She is the co-founding executive producer and director of the Chicago Home Theater, a city-wide event designed to disrupt injustice.

The production will start March 2. Shows will continue until March 25. Tickets will be $29-$32. Discounts will be available for seniors, students and military members. March 4 will the pay-as-you-can performance.
