The influential and seminal Caryl Churchill has been hailed by Tony Kushner (Angels In America) as “the greatest living English language playwright.” Here she focuses her extraordinary dramatic gifts on the subject of human cloning. A father is confronted by his son, but it becomes clear it is not really his son, or at least not the original version. How might a man feel to discover that he is but one in a number of identical copies - and how exactly do you determine which one of him is the original?

Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, an emotionally overwhelmed fifth grade teacher and an anguished mother have a fraught conversation about her troubled son, Gidion.

Watson: trusty sidekick to Sherlock Holmes; loyal engineer who built Bell's first telephone; unstoppable super-computer that became reigning "Jeopardy!" champ; amiable techno-dweeb who, in the present day, is just looking for love. These four constant companions become one in this brilliantly phantasmagorical, witty, time-jumping, loving tribute (and cautionary tale) dedicated to the people - and machines - upon which we all depend.
