A Number Play by Caryl Churchill (Farsi)

Description

Based on Caryl Churchill’s play A Number, the Sunday Times regards her as a leading 21st-century playwright for confronting one of humanity’s most profound and unsettling frontiers: human cloning. The play raises disturbing, unanswered questions about the limits of creativity, natural human fertility, and the ethical reach of science. It examines how scientific intervention can disrupt or even destroy fundamental human relationships. Through the voice of one cloned son, who reflects on his genetic ties to humans, chimpanzees, and even plants, Churchill highlights themes of identity, belonging, and loss. The father’s nostalgic longing for his original sons underscores the emotional complexity of replication, making the play both intellectually provocative and deeply human.
