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.


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. DNA opened at the National Theatre in February 2008. This School Version includes notes for teachers and those studying the play for GCSE English, as written by Anthony Banks, theatre director and Associate Director of the National Theatre Discover Programme
