A fascinating meditation on human cloning; personal identity and the conflicting claims of nature and nurture. Winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Play of 2002. A Number was first staged at the Royal Court Theatre; 2002; starring Michael Gambon Daniel Craig. A Number confirms Churchills status as the first dramatist of the 21st century... The questions this brilliant; harrowing play asks are almost unanswerable; which is why they must be asked - Sunday Times Caryl Churchills magnificent new play only lasts an hour but contains more drama; and more ideas; than most writers manage in a dozen full-length works. Part psychological thriller; part topical scientific speculation; and part analysis of the relationship between fathers and their sons; it combines elegant structural simplicity with an astonishing intellectual and emotional depth...What a tremendous play this is; moving thought-provoking and dramatically thrilling - Daily Telegraph Rarely in my theatre-going experience has a new play conveyed such a disturbing or enthralling impression of domestic weirdness that some families may endure in a not entirely hypothetical future... Its an astonishing event - Evening Standard
