Twilight of the Golds is a play about a New York Jewish family torn apart
by a genetic test. When pregnant daughter Suzanne considers an abortion after
she finds out that the fetus will be physically perfect but probably homosexual,
her gay brother David鈥攑layed by Jason Gould, Barbra Streisand’s
son鈥攖ells her that she is erasing him from the world. Their parents are
drawn into the maelstrom when they cannot say categorically that they would have
let David live had they had the choice. There is plenty of mileage in the
ethical quagmire that lurks beneath the great gene debate, but this is a
clich茅d treatment. One line strikes home: in an era of information
without understanding, the mother says, “If you ask me, we all know too damn
much.” Twilight of the Golds is at the Arts Theatre, Great Newport Street,
London WC2 until 2 August.
