DNA

Dennis Kelly

A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives, where's the incentive to put things right? DNA is a poignant and, sometimes, hilarious tale with a very dark heart.
A contemporary play for younger people, DNA opened at the National Theatre in February 2008

Praise for this book

"Tension so gripping you could almost taste it. Highly recommended. FOUR STARS" --What's On Stage

"A taut, compelling thriller and a modern-day spin on Lord of the Flies, exploring group behaviour and moral equivocation." --Financial Times

"Dennis Kelly's short, sharp shocker of a play cleverly piles on the twists... [his] sharp, reflective writing gets inside the characters' heads. FOUR STARS" --The Guardian

"Dennis Kelly's cruel teaser of a play; Anthony Banks's snappy production sets the temperature at chilling. FOUR STARS" --The Sunday Times
