D.N.A
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.
"Dennis Kellys’s short, sharp shocker of a play cleverly piles on the twists, as guilt and madness work their poison on group dynamics." - Lyn Gardner The Guardian
"A taut, compelling thriller and a modern-day spin on Lord of the Flies, exploring group behaviour and moral equivocation." -Financial Times

TRUST
Leave or stay. Speak up or keep silent. Slam the door or keep the peace. Walk out tonight or stick it out another week, a month, a year.
Drain your bank account and get out while you still can or keep on saving for the holiday, the house, the car. Destroy all existing structures and begin entirely again — or get hitched to the person who betrayed you. Begin a revolution or just keep calm and carry on — things aren’t so bad, are they?
A funny and irreverent exploration of broken relationships, the tyranny of capitalism, and the level of denial you must have to survive systems you can no longer trust.
“An extraordinary mix of the political, the personal and the pantomimic”-
The Guardian
“There’s a euphoria to its ambivalent survey of humanity's nonsense.” -

OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD
Australia 1789. A young married lieutenant is directing rehearsals of the first play ever to be staged in that country. With only two copies of the text, a cast of convicts, and one leading lady who may be about to be hanged, conditions are hardly ideal...
Winner of the Laurence Olivier Play of the Year Award in 1988, and many other major awards, Our Country's Good premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1988 and opened on Broadway in 1991.
"Rarely has the redemptive, transcendental power of theatre been argued with such eloquence and passion." - Georgina Brown, Independent
