The Cloning meets Country & Western Musical! 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, quite simply, an overnight sensation. Dolly tells the (almost true) story of a young woman and her part in one of the most incredible, widely-discussed, and far-reaching 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 make us who we are - nature, nurture, or the power of our dreams? Running time: 2hrs
