Amidst political and economic upheaval, Don Juan finds himself increasingly at odds with the man he used to be.

DNA
by Dennis Kelly
Directed by Anthony Banks (Associate Director of the National Theatre Discover Programme).A compelling thriller – by Award winning writer Dennis Kelly

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?

“Dennis Kelly takes us into the enclosed world of adolescent cruelty, famously captured in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, and shows he absolutely understands the dynamics of group panic” Michael Billington, The Guardian

‘Punchy without being preachy; tackles moral issues without moralising – Dennis Kelly offers a balefully witty take on the dark side of group mentality’ Independent

First performed at the NT in 2008, this startling new play is fast becoming a contemporary-classic

Mogadishu

When white secondary school teacher Amanda is pushed to the ground by black student Jason, she’s reluctant to report it as she knows exclusion could condemn him to a future as troubled as his past. Once the boy and his peers have decide to protect themselves by spinning a story of their own, Amanda finds herself sucked into a vortex of lies in which victim becomes perpetrator. With the truth becoming less clear and more dangerous by the day, it isn’t long before careers, relationships and even lives are under threat in Vivienne Franzmann’s GRIPPING and URGENT play.

‘A STARTLING DEBUT, Matthew Dunster directs sharply and the young cast ARE REMARKABLE’ The Times
