About The Show
When a group of teenagers' bullying of another student goes too far, they are left with an unplanned death on their conscience. The teenagers split into two camps when they realise that their actions have framed an innocent man for their crime.
DNA is a poignant and, sometimes, hilarious tale with a very dark heart.
Dennis Kelly’s twenty-first century play for young people calls society’s response to cruelty, bullying, peer pressure and pack mentality into question. Are these behaviours societal and learned, or are they inherent in us all?

This is a jet-black comedy that lays bare the way that self-interest, peer pressure and an inability to really connect and empathise with others leads to a creeping corruption.
