A Number by Caryl Churchill
Caryl Churchill, hailed by Tony Kushner as the greatest living English language playwright, has turned her extraordinary dramatic gifts to the subject of human cloning--how might a man feel to discover that he is only one in a number of identical copies. And which one of him is the original. . . ? Churchill's harrowing bioethics fable leaves us with a number of things to chew on. -Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago A Number confirms Churchill's status as the first dramatist of the 21st century. On the face of it, it is human cloning. Like all Churchill's best plays, A Number deals with both the essentials and the extremities of human experience. The questions this brilliant, harrowing play asks are almost unanswerable, which is why they must be asked. -Sunday Times Caryl Churchill's magnificent new play only last an hour but contains more drama, and more ideas, than most writers manage in a dozen full-length works. -Daily Telegraph Caryl Churchill has written for the stage, television and radio.
