...learn this in the first two of the play's five scenes: conversations between Salter and the decent, cloned Bernard (B2), then Salter and his still-troubled birth son (B1). The "action" takes place off stage, but it's shocking nonetheless. Pin this: B1 visits B2 and threatens him; B2 flees to a distant island, where B1 finds and murders him; B1 confronts his father, who now fears he will track down all the Bernards and become a serial killer of his own clones - mass murder as mass suicide.

For example, most death certificates presented by Pyongyang were printed on identical forms issued by a mysterious '695th hospital' while a marriage certificate for two abductees had the wrong dates of birth. By coming clean on its institutionalized kidnapping, North Korea should have eased the minds of grieving family members. Instead, the flap has provoked further rage and cruel hope that loved ones said to be dead are somehow still alive. And it's shown once again that, even when the truth...
