But they go further and deeper by setting these feelings inside jagged discussions about children, violence, torture and human rights abuse, the individual and community including the timeless and poetry of the everyday. Key characters are studied in detail and the roles they play with analysis focused around bullying, abuse, victimisation/survival and feminist non-violence. What they do so well is make students appreciate every comma and full stop and get to understand the characters as complex and three-dimensional. DNA is also an allegory for Western foreign policy and terrorism.

Scene 3: The police have found a man that fits the description of the man that Phil concocted because Cathy used her ‘initiative’ to find a man that matched the description. The plan has gone wrong. Brian is refusing to go into the police station to identify the man who is being framed. Phil threatens him with being taken up to the grille if he doesn’t go. Brian goes. Other work includes translations of Péter Kárpáti's Fourth Gate ( National Theatre Studio) and The Colony, a radio play which won Best European Radio Drama at the Prix Europa, 2004.

These flawed and failing characters, who know right from wrong, try to make the best out of a bad situation but in the process concoct a darker, more desperate den of deceptions. They panic and decide to cover up their crime but inadvertently implicate an innocent man. Brian's journey matches that of Adam himself, He was bullied, told what to do, went mad and in the end is more significant in his absence than his presence.'

Brian, a member of their group, refuses to go to the police station and confirm that he saw the man alone with Adam. However, he ends up going because Phil threatens to throw him down the grate to ‘rot together’ with Adam.

Finally, Kelly uses his brightest character to get us to contemplate "what is the nature of being human?" This edition will especially resonate with students as it examines the power of teenage group mentality and constantly throws them into the deadly drama as potential participants and vulnerable victims. It gets them to consider at what point does our morality make us turn the other way? I sometimes think I wonder, what would you do If I killedmyself right here in front of you? Like, what do you do?! What do you do, Phil?!
