SNT Drama Ljubljana is pleased to announce the first Slovenian production of The Effect, a play by a socially committed contemporary British playwright Lucy Prebble, directed by Eva Nina Lampič. The premiere will be live streamed on Wednesday, 10 February at 20.00 from the Small Stage. The upcoming production is the second Small Stage production in the 2020/21 season, entitled Floatation.
