DNA by Dennis Kelly

DNA by Dennis Kelly is a gripping, fast-paced thriller about a group of teenagers whose cruel prank spirals into a shocking cover-up. Darkly funny and disturbingly real, the play exposes how peer pressure, fear, and the desperate need to belong can twist morality and silence truth. With sharp dialogue and relentless tension, DNA pulls the audience into a world where loyalty clashes with conscience, and survival means complicity. Raw, unsettling, and unforgettable, this Fringe production asks: when the line between right and wrong blurs, what would you do to stay part of the pack?
