DNA: School Edition (Oberon Modern Plays)

Product Information

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. Scene 3: Adam is alive and has been living in a hedge. He has survived by living off dead animals. He has clearly sustained a head injury. Phil instructs Jan, Mark and Lou to leave and not say anything. He shows Cathy how to kill Adam by tying a plastic bag around Brian’s head (who is by not on medication and is clearly losing his mind). Leah begs him not to do this. Even Leah can only handle so much before she leaves. It might not be bullying, but Phil's torturous silences eventually drive her away.' And Someone pegged a stone at him. Not to hit him, just for the laugh and you should have seen his face. I mean the fear the, It was so... You had to laugh right? The expression, the fear. It's too much for some. John Tate leaves the group. And Brian made to act against his moral instincts, completely loses his sanity.'

Alert

By the bridge, last week. A fat Caucasian male, Five-nine say, with thinning hair and a postman's uniform. Sad eyes... Softly spoken. By the bridge, last week... A fat Caucasian male, five-nine say, with thinning hair and a postman's uniform. Sad eyes... Softly spoken. Chimps are evil... they murder each other. Did you know that? They kill and torture each other to find a better position within the social structure.

DNA by Dennis Kelly Plot Summary | LitCharts

Out of the blue, one of the gang discovers Adam. He's not dead at all. He's living in a hedge, just banged his head. Eating dead animals. So, what do you do? JOHN TATE: No, no, no, look, there I have to, I really have to, you’re going to have to listen to me on this one, and you are going to have to believe me. Ever Are we to be like Chimps? Or our closest relatives, the sociable Bonobos? Kelly seems to imply that we can choose to be one or the other.' He gets us to frame an innocent person, gets someone to identify the body and kill Adam when he turns up alive.LEAH: Can I just say John, that we haven’t done anything. First I want to say that, but if we have, John, but if we have done a thing, which we haven’t, but if we have then we did it together. Whatever we did, we did, me and Phil, it wasn’t just Phil, if that’s what you’re thinking, if you’re thinking it might just have been him, on his own, without me, well that’s not, we are completely, I am responsible as much as he, as much as Phil, but we didn’t because – You know, being bullies? Within a group? Or if it’s a constant theme of human history. Does that bother you Phil?
