Description

This new Student Edition of Dennis Kelly’s popular play DNA contains introductory commentary and notes by Clare Finburgh Delijani, which gives an in-depth analysis of the play’s context and themes. As well as the complete text of the play, this new Methuen Drama Student Edition includes: · An introduction to the playwright and social context of the play · Discussion of the context, themes, characters and dramatic form · Overview of staging and performance history of the play · Bibliography of suggested primary and secondary materials for further study. Dennis Kelly's play DNA centres on friendship, morality and responsibility in odd circumstances. When a group of young friends are faced with a terrible accident, they deliberately make the wrong choices to cover it up and find themselves in an unusually binding friendship where no one will own up to what they've done.
