Bernard's life is thrown into turmoil when he discovers he has been cloned. Bernard delves into his past to reveal a series of unpredictable twists and turns and decisions which have had irreversible consequences for him and his 'brothers'.

What is it like to be one of a number? And are they truly identical? Is it possible to capture something perfect?

Set in the near future, this intriguing play explores the 'nature versus nurture' debate and dares to ask the unanswerable questions that strike at the very heart of what it means to be human.

Twenty:20

Twenty:20

By James Quinn
Directed by Adam Sunderland

July 2013. Ace Yorkshire batsman Rick Fielding has been called up at the eleventh hour to represent his country against the old enemy: Australia. The problem is that whilst Rick is a superstar of 'Twenty20' cricket, he's never played a test match in his life. Can he possibly squeeze in a match winning innings between a celebrity photo shoot for ‘Hello' and the quarter finals of Strictly Come Dancing?

This hilarious one-act play takes the audience on a whirlwind tour of today's short attention span world, where Tweeting has replaced the art of conversation, and all we can hope for is 24 hours of wall to wall reality TV.
