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 inspired by the 2024 UK Women and Equalities Committee report into women’s reproductive health conditions, and personal experiences seeking medical diagnoses.
Following its first outing at the Kaleidoscope Theatre Festival at the Golden Goose Theatre earlier in the year, the piece returns in an expanded form for its full debut at the Etcetera Theatre. Side Effects May Include is also featured in the Czech Centre's 29th Made in Prague Festival 2025 programme.
Provocative, playful, and pertinent: a prescription for cases of chronic medical dismissal.
Do not operate heavy misogyny while watching.
