If you were lucky enough to see it during its national tour you will probably agree with the acclaimed reviews this play received. It really, really is good, or as the Guardian called it, ‘a short, sharp shocker of a play.’ In fact, it’s amazing. We’re hard pushed to think of a better modern play for GCSE students.
DNA has now been published for the first time in the Methuen Drama Student Edition series with commentary and notes by Clare Finburgh Delijani, which look at the play's context, themes, dramatic form, staging possibilities and production history, plus offers suggestions for further reading.
