Domestic drama? Suspense thriller? Science fiction? “A Number” is all that and more. Here's reviewer David Warner's thoughts on the play currently in production at Studio Grand Central in St. Pete.
Review from Broadwayworld.com
A Number written by British Playwright Caryl Churchill first premiered in September of 2002 at the Royal Court Theatre in London, England. The play starred Michael Gambon in the role of Salter, and Daniel Craig in the role of Bernard (Et al.). Under critical reception, Churchill’s play was lauded ...
A Number.

We LOVE our sponsors and advertisers…this one LOVES your animals…Thank you Plummer Pet Hospital…with your support, we continue to SHARE THE POWER OF CREATIVITY...tickets for tonight’s play, A NUMBER, can be purchased at: www.studiograndcentral.com/tickets
Nice preview
'Most every script you pick up begins with some sort of description, by the author, about the setting, time, place, etc. With A Number, Ms. Churchill gave us three words: ‘Where Salter Lives’ - that throws the door open to virtually any possibility,' said junior director Alan Mohney.
Always up for a challenge, producing artistic director Ward G. Smith dives headlong into the character of Salter, the complex and multi- layered role of a father dealing with grief, guilt and vanity. Get your tickets now https://studiograndcentral.com/tickets
