“A wonderfully unsettling triumph” – Independent
What happens when you discover more than one YOU in the world? This psychological thriller explores themes of identity, family dynamics and the ethics of scientific experimentation.
Bernard’s has contentedly navigated life as an only child. When his father reveals the truth about his place in the family order, Bernard’s world is turned upside down. Father and son relationships can be complicated at the best of times but take on new meaning in a world where humans can be replicated. Caryl Churchill is at her unsettling best with this thought-provoking play about nature versus nurture, the emotional impact of cloning and the moral implications of creating human beings for experimentation.
