Remember in the 2004 presidential election debates when John Kerry and George W. Bush argued passionately about the ethics of human cloning. The dilemma of human cloning was on the mind of the average person so much that even the United Nations gathered to
Kershaw does a phenomenal job in using his voice and physicality to distinguish between the three clones. The way he lives in his height when he is Bernard 1 adds even more menace to Bernard 1's character. He towers over Hamilton like he's an ant. Even when he's sitting, he's taller. His voice is hard and removed. He projects power.
Hamilton plays the shifty father well. When Bernard 2 finds out that he's been cloned, he seeks answers from Salter. After a series of contrived consolations, Bernard 2 divulges that he knows that he is not the original. No longer able to continue lying, Salter reveals that the original son had died in a car accident. He even gave Bernard 2 the same name.However, in the next scene, Bernard 1 shows up. He confronts Salter about his father's neglect.
At the end of the story, Salter decides to meet all the clones, and the one with whom the play ends is called Michael Black. He is married with kids and happy. Salter wants to know more personal details about him, but none of Michael's answers is what Salter wants. The play ends precipitously. It could have gone on for longer, but an hour is all that's needed to put forth the ideas in the play.
