The Effect
by Lucy Prebble
Directed by Stephen Labourne
Connie and Tristan are two strangers. Young urban twenty somethings trying to earn some extra cash by taking part in a drugs trial. Dr Sealy and Dr James are monitoring the pair very closely during the trial. As time goes on Connie and Tristan find themselves strongly attracted. The two Doctors also seem to have a connection. But is it the drugs causing the attraction or something else?
In the end everyone takes a leap in the dark.
What’s love got to do with it?
Maybe we will find out.
Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby
Opens Saturday 17 October through to Saturday 24 October 2026

Treat your little monsters to a fun Bath Bomb Making Experience with a Spooky twist this Halloween at Soap Shack located at the Meridian Craft Centre in Cleethorpes.
These workshops are filling up quickly with some already sold out or very close to full. To book a place visit The Soap Shack’s Facebook page.
The two-hour workshops are a fun, engaging and interactive way to keep your little ones entertained this half term holiday.
We learn about the science behind how a bath bomb works – we discover different scents and explore colour before making 4 large bath bombs to take home
In these spooky specials we have a choice of Halloween or autumn themed scents and sprinkles – we create one bath bomb with a googly eye sticking out of it, one with a spider, one with a crystal tumblestone and one with a light up ice cube embedded inside that changes colour once it hits the water.
Workshop Dates:
Thursday 22 October – 2pm to 4pm
Friday 23 October – 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm
Saturday 24 October – 10am to 12pm
Tuesday 27 October – FULL
Thursday 29 October – 2pm to 4pm
Friday 30 October – 2pm to 4pm
