←Recommendations of Clone

A fascinating premise executed phenomenally! I love the way the story subverts a common trope—in this play, the "original" is the one fiercely asserting his individuality. This is a really engaging, urgent, and tense exploration of what humans would do (and, in fact, have done across history) when given power over others - and in this case, Mick can't even rationalize that Robbie is indeed "other" due to their shared genetics. This is a play that will get audiences thinking. Fantastic work!

An absolute must-read play. This dark, shining gem of a drama produces shivers and provokes deep thoughts.

"Clone" is about those in power with the opportunity to abuse it, and those who have none. It's a clear-eyed prediction of what the future may be and a metaphor of several populations considered "less than."

There's a certain fascination knowing there's someone out there who is your genetic double. In this alternative world where clones are the hunted -- the reason is never explained -- DC Cathro puts us in a room where the original meets his "dupe." The contrast, the similarities, the eerie communing that happens in this gripping story and the realization that one is never sure who is the true original is always present and menacing but fascinating, claustrophobic, and liberating. And as the son of an identical twin, I still have questions that were never answered.

With “Clone,” DC Cathro has crafted a taut, morally trenchant thriller that is sure to grab audiences. The situation that these characters find themselves in is far from enviable, but Cathro’s tight plotting reveals the humanity — and cruelty — lying beneath the surface of each character’s facade. The subtle world building raises compelling questions about autonomy, ownership, and what society would do when faced with the realization that clones walk among us. An excellent, searing drama.
