So this one puts on some interesting questions about the ethics of cloning. Most of the play plays out the conflict between two older generation clones against their younger generation, with the younger generation (understandably) not wanting to get overwritten to facilitate the older generation and the older generation mostly being mad with power. And Old Zeus (wonderfully played by Ian McNeice) is a fantastically horrible villain. In the end the younger generation wins in some nicely inventive way, but the most interesting thing the play does is succesfully make you question whether the younger generation is destined to just become the older generation again.
I think the many ethical debates would have worked a bit better if the older generation had some more redeeming traits. Additionally, I think that the concepts could be better explored in a two-hour story, this one goes a bit too neatly for the weighty topics.
