...advent of genetic engineering, among other things, has allowed researchers to begin breaching that natural barrier. Last spring scientists at Duke University Medical Center reported that they had successfully altered the genetic makeup of a strain of pigs. As a result, the researchers managed to fool the immune systems of three baboons into accepting pig hearts, for a short while at least. Using a similar technique, the British biotechnology company Imutran has produced a herd of 300 genetically altered swine. The company expects to transplant either a pig's heart or a liver into a human subject later this year...

But while Nicky Silver gives in too often to the temptation of cheap laughs, topical references and ironic mugging, the play is ultimately redeemed from its worst moments by a clever and genuinely surprising treatment of sexuality and its most famous pitfall, the Oedipus complex...
