A man questions his father about the possible existence of another estranged son, and the questions opens up a series of events that neither men could ever have expected. Penned by one of the world's most uncompromising playwrights, Caryl Churchill's A Number is a beguiling hour-long psychological thriller that blends topical scientific speculation with a stunning portrait of the relationship between fathers and their sons.
Praise

“A tightly wound, but feverish play..”
“With a stark but intriguing design by Angela M. Campos, Karen Kessler’s production is a visually classy affair.”

“This will get you and your date, or you and yourself, talking about matters of substance.”
