DNA by Dennis Kelly
Presented by Icarus Theatre
In the sprawls of an urban cityscape, ten teenagers grapple with the consequences of their actions. Adam is dead, and it’s everyone’s fault. So what now? Fixated on the adult lives ahead of them, they’ll do anything it takes to avoid responsibility. The good news? Ray has a plan, but she needs everyone’s help. Presented for the first time in Toronto, Dennis Kelly’s DNA investigates morality, leadership, and the primal nature of youth.
