About "A Number"
A play by Caryl Churchill | Directed by John Gawlik
Written in 2002 – six years after the highly publicized creation of “Dolly,” the cloned sheep – A Number explores the conflicts that arise between a father and his adult son, who learns that his father may have allowed his son to be cloned when he was a child. The play delves into the personal consequences of human cloning and how the power of replicating genetic identity may have unintended consequences.
Post performance panel discussion will inform the audience about the science behind the play, concluding with a Q & A with university faculty, students, and the professional actors.
