A Number September 19, 2008

Caryl Churchill's extraordinary play, 'A Number' centers around Salter, a father who is suddenly faced with the startling results of his decision to clone a child thirty years earlier. It is unexpectedly revealed that this experiment resulted in "a number" of sons, three of whom now confront him with the consequences of his actions. With unexpected turns, stunning developments and a dramatic examination of the issues of nature vs. nurture, 'A Number' is both an emotionally compelling and intellectually provocative drama.
