A world where one miracle pill makes life ‘sunny’ and pain-free - until side effects begin to emerge. Created and performed by Mountview graduates Ivi Moravcova and Jess Vince-Moin, Side Effects May Include is a dystopian dark comedy blending sharp dialogue with surrealism. A new work inspired by the 2024 UK Women and Equalities Committee report into women’s reproductive health conditions, and personal experiences seeking medical diagnoses. Provocative, playful, and pertinent: a prescription for cases of chronic medical dismissal. Do not operate heavy misogyny while watching.
