DNA - Maggie Inchley

Written specifically for GCSE students by academics in the field, the
Methuen Drama GCSE Student Guides conveniently gather indispensable
resources and tips for successful understanding and writing all in one
place, preparing students to approach their exams with confidence.

Key
features include a critical commentary of the play with extensive,
clearly labelled analyses on themes, characters and context. They take
studying drama even further with sections on dramatic technique,
critical reception, related works, fascinating behind-the-scenes
interviews with playwrights, directors or actors, and a helpful glossary
of dramatic terms.

Dennis Kelly's play DNA centres on
friendship, morality and responsibility in odd circumstances. When a
group of young friends are faced with a terrible accident, they
deliberately make the wrong choices to cover it up and find themselves
in an unusually binding friendship where no one will own up to what
they've done.

Closely following the requirements of GCSE English
Literature assessment objectives, these studies include expert advice on
how to write about modern drama. With featured activities for group
study and independent work, they are versatile and valuable to students
and teachers alike.
