Long after the show has closed, success still surrounds it; The Effect now adds
TWO OLIVIER AWARD
nominationsto itaccolades;
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
This petition has been far more successful than I originally thought it would be - clearly you all share the same passion for such a masterful play to be seen - and has even been mentioned by Telegraph editor Damian Thompson in his blog/review on The Effect in which he calls the play ''a magnificent piece of work with more to say about our future than any number of more overtly political plays'.

Two hundred and fifty signatures just showed up on the screen and I honestly had to blink a few times because I really did not think this would move this fast. It is wild to think about all those people just getting why this play needs to come back because honestly I am still stuck on how good that run was and how much we all missed out on.

The cast was pure brilliance. Just make a recording so the people who missed out dont have to hear about how great it was forever
Honestly one of the best things ive seen on stage in years. Billie Piper was incredible. Just put it on dvd already!
Missed out on tickets for this and now it seems impossible to find any way to watch it. Please bring it back for a longer run!
NEEDS TO COME BACK. A total masterpiece.
Why do the best shows close so fast? Seriously need to see this.

I would travel anywhere in the country to see this again. So gutted I only managed to catch it once before it closed.
