Barrett Township (August 20, 2018): The Pocono Mountains Theater Company announces open auditions for the Lehigh Valley production of internationally acclaimed playwright Caryl Churchill’s provocative play A NUMBER, to be performed across northeast Pennsylvania this October.
Directing A NUMBER for the Lehigh Valley production is award-winning director George B. Miller, Artistic Director of Selkie Theatre, an Irish/ American Theatre Company based in the Lehigh Valley.
Thought-provoking, startling, and fascinating, A NUMBER tackles profound questions of identity and notions of "self" as it unknots the tangled story between a father and son and explores cloning and the theory of nature vs. nurture. The play debuted to great success at London’s Royal Court Theatre in September 2002.
