One of a handful of great American playwrights has agreed to take a leading role on the stage in New York. The play is Caryl Churchill's "A Number" This is the first NYC acting role that Shepard has taken in about thirty years.
If you happen to be in NYC or close enough to attend the show, do. According to the description of the play in the article: "[d]ealing with nature vs. nurture, the play centers on a son's discovery that he is one of a number of genetically identical offspring cloned by his father."
Churchill is another playwright who fits into the great living playwrights. Plays like Cloud 9 have revolutionized playwrighting and the way critics view theater.
This show opens December 17th at the New York Theater Workshop.
