Tour No: 10
Dolly
by New Perspectives Theatre Company
When Dolly the sheep burst onto the world stage in 1996, the first ever mammal cloned from an adult cell (and named after Dolly Parton in honour of the mammary gland from which that cell was taken!), she became an overnight sensation. Now, New Perspectives investigate the hitherto unexplored meeting point between the science of cloning and the heartbreak of country and western.
Dolly tells the story of a young woman and her part in one of the most incredible stories of the last twenty years - an unlikely but highly entertaining combination of Dolly Parton tribute and human drama, packed with country and western classics, that playfully explores the science and morality of cloning and asks what really makes us who we are - nature, nurture or the power of our dreams?
