DNA: School Edition (Oberon Modern Plays) Paperback – 14 Sept. 2009

Another cracking Dennis Kelly Play.If you mention the name Dennis Kelly to students - they automatically say 'DNA' - as its written about a group of teenagersThe story follows the lives of this group as they deal with the disappearance of one of them.However it turns out they know that this person has gone missing and why.It details them trying to cover their tracks and set up other people for the crime.As with all Dennis Kelly plays, the Dialogue is superbly written, no one writes modern dialogue like him.Full of twists and turns. some great scenes, and full of good solid monologues too

The book is well structured for students. I find there to be no issues with the school edition. The writing itself is very dark. I feel that it has been written well as far as characters go - going into great depths of personality

An absolute must for GCSE students, however, the book has a lot of things involving sexual topics, and there is a lot of violence and bullying in the book.The story is very dark and horrendous but delves into the minds of the antisocial teenagers.

I was expecting something a bit more substantial considering the cost. Cheapest possible production.

My granddaughter used it for auditions to get into Brit school proud to say she got in

Really good and really helpful

Perfect

Brilliant play.The final notes and bits at the end, after the play, are really useful as handout.I wouldn't recommend the school edition if you aren't working with school/kids because there's no swearing and character are smoothed up a bit, but you can easily get them right (;
