Starring Tom Wilkinson and Rhys Ifans, A Number tells the story of a world where human cloning has become a reality. Two genetically identical men confront their father in separate, chilling encounters, each looking for explanations into their shared past.
Based on a play, A Number debuted at The Royal Court Theatre in London in 2002. The production was directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and designed by Ian MacNeil and starred Michael Gambon and our latest James Bond - Daniel Craig. The play won the 2002 Evening Standard Award for Best Play. It made its U.S. premiere in 2004 in a production starring Sam Shepard and Dallas Roberts.
I'm always curious to see how plays translate onto the screen, even if it's for the small screen. Themes about identity and father-son dynamics have been fodder for many dramas before, so this could be an interesting twist.
