Long after the show has closed, success still surrounds it; The Effect now adds

TWO OLIVIER AWARD

Best Actress: Billie Piper andBest Supporting Actress: Anastasia Hille

This was a petition for the National Theatre to stream their co-production with Headlong of 'The Effect' by Lucy Prebblish and starring the critically acclaimed British actress, Billie Piper alongside Jonjo O'Neill, Anastasia Hille and Tom Goodman-Hill. However, since the show has finished and there's rumours of a possible extension to the West End it is now for this to happen. The production received rave reviews, several awards including the Critics Circle Choice for Best New Play and a 4 month run of completely sold out shows. The undersigned hereby request that the show is extended, or is in some way made more accessible for audiences; a DVD, more shows, cinema streaming etc.

Please share and spread the word about this petition, the more people that sign it the more likely the National Theatre will take notice.

Below are just some of the outstanding reviews that The Effect has received so far:

'Billie Piper, an actress with an amazing ability to tap into deep and apparently entirely spontaneous emotion, is simply superb... Piper is astonishing'

★★★★★ - The Telegraph

'Together, they (Billie Piper and Jonjo O'Neill) create an intensive, stimulating and moving evening in what might well be the best new play of the year'

★★★★★ - The Arts Desk

'Billie Piper really does give an absolute dour de force; her range of emotions really is quite extraordinary'

★★★★★ - BBC Front Row

'O’Neill and Piper provide an intense contrast and is also grounded in passion. This is the best new play of the year'

★★★★★ - The Stage

'Rupert Goold's thoughtful production is lit up by scintillating performances; Billie Piper and Jonjo O'Neill are thrillingly good... a profound and stirring play'

★★★★★ - The Evening Standard
