THE EFFECT
Connie is a beautiful psychology student. Tristan is a charming slacker. They are both “guinea pigs” in a clinical experiment for a new “super-drug”. Sealed off from the real world and monitored by two bickering doctors, the attraction between Connie and Tristan becomes increasingly intense, passionate and out of control, even as their daily dosage of the drug gets stronger. Is this a chemical romance – a side effect of the drug? Or is it “the real thing”? A brilliant examination of the human brain via the heart, THE EFFECT explores questions of sanity, the ethical minefield of neuroscience, today’s pill-popping culture, and the very nature of this thing we call “LOVE”.
THE EFFECT premiered to great acclaim at London's National Theatre in 2012, winning the UK Critic's Circle Award for Best New Play. "Deeply moving, intelligent, astonishingly rich and rewarding” The Telegraph "Provocative…challenging…edgy" The Independent

FALLING
Tami and Bill are ordinary parents doing their best to bring up their two teenage kids – Lisa, an ordinary 16 year-old full of attitude and angst; and Josh, who demands extra-ordinary attention, because he’s an 18 year-old man-child who happens to be profoundly autistic. Family life is a precarious balancing act revolving around Josh, his routines, his obsessions, and the rigid rules created for them to get through each day. When this delicate balance is shattered, it literally becomes a matter of life and death for this family. An electrifying and enlightening family drama, FALLING examines the meaning of unconditional love, and dares to ask: “How do you love someone who is difficult to love?”
“FALLING soars, packs a powerful punch.” New York Post “Audiences will fall in love with this extraordinary piece of theatre.” TheaterMania.com

RENT
A group of 20-somethings face a future filled with fear and uncertainty, amidst social and political unrest, poverty, drug abuse and HIV/AIDS: Mark, an aspiring film-maker; Roger, a doomed musician; Collins, a “vagabond anarchist”; Angel, a transvestite street busker; Mimi, a troubled dancer; Maureen, a wild-child performance artist; hot-shot law student Joanne; and Benny, the one who “sold his soul” and became a “yuppie”. As they face their many challenges, friendships become fractured, hearts and bodies get broken, and their will to survive is pushed to the limit. Ultimately RENT is a powerful and passionate testament to hope, humanity, friendship, and above all, LOVE. RENT premiered in 1996, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Pangdemonium is proud to be staging this 20th Anniversary production of this much-loved and acclaimed modern classic.
