Alienation in Caryl Churchill’s a Number
Abstract
Caryl Churchill’s play A Number echoes the author’s attitude towards scientific evolution, having as a result cloning, and its impact on social and moral values and relationships. The paper will focus on identitary problems raised by cloning, on the clash between uniqueness and seriality, on the confusion arising from opportunities and unexpected effects.
