About

A son arrives to see his father. He has something to talk about. He’s discovered he’s not the only one. His father has more sons and they all look like him. 

A gripping, provocative drama that dives headfirst into identity, morality and responsibility, and what it truly means to be human.

With Caryl Churchill’s signature minimalist style, A Number explores love, betrayal, and the unsettling complexities of family in the age of cloning. It confronts the ethical dilemmas of modern science - and the timeless challenges of parenthood.
