And which one of him is the original. . . ?Churchill’s harrowing bioethics fable leaves us with a number of things to chew on.” Kris Vire, Time Out ChicagoA Number confirms Churchill’s status as the first dramatist of the 21st century. On the face of it, it is human cloning
Like all Churchill’s best plays, A Number deals with both the essentials and the extremities of human experience
