Jim Rayfield Quotations

I think a lot of the guilt in the play is what the father feels because of the failure with his first son. He uses cloning in an attempt to start over again.

I think this play is, in a sense, the father's story. We see him go from a state of happiness - he's content; he has his son; he's okay - to the end, where he is totally lost.

He's very well-adjusted. He's married. He has children. He's happy. He doesn't see any of this as threatening or problematic. He says he thinks it's fun and exciting to be part of this experience.

He's much better adjusted than Bernard One until he finds out that he is a clone. Then his world kind of falls apart. You get the impression that he had a loving father. He was wanted and well taken care of, but he begins to question that. We begin to see him losing confidence in his own worth.
