Content warning [May contain spoilers]
This term, DNA takes over the Corpus Playroom as the Week 6 Freshers' Late Show. Dark, gripping, and razor-sharp, this production dives into the unsettling world of teenage complicity and the spiralling consequences of one terrible decision.
Written by Dennis Kelly, DNA follows a group of teenagers who commit a violent act—and then attempt to cover it up. As guilt and fear take hold, the group fractures, revealing shifting power dynamics, moral ambiguity, and the terrifying ease with which truth can be manipulated. Tense, fast-paced, and disturbingly funny, DNA is a chilling exploration of peer pressure, group psychology, and the thin line between order and chaos.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
This amateur production of “DNA” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
