Dennis Kelly: Plays Two by Dennis Kelly

Dennis Kelly is one of the UK's finest contemporary dramatists. This second volume of his work collects together: Our Teacher's a Troll, Orphans, Taking Care of Baby, DNA and The Gods Weep. Also features a foreword by journalist, author and critic, Aleks Sierz.

"Without doubt, Kelly is one of the most multi-talented British playwrights to emerge in the last decade" - Aleks Sierz (from the foreword)

(On Our Teacher's a Troll) 'A celebration of naughtiness and questioning, it's a raucous, skin-crawling treat' - The Guardian

* The Guardian *

(On Our Teacher's a Troll) 'A hilarious dark fable' - The Herald

* The Herald *

(On Orphans) 'A cast-iron understanding of the morally bankrupt way we live now' - Daily Telegraph

* Daily Telegraph *

(On Taking Care of Baby) 'In its examination of how stories are told, is an imaginatively realised and moving story' - The Guardian

* The Guardian *

(On DNA) 'A taut, compelling thriller and a modern-day spin on Lord of the Flies, exploring group behaviour and moral equivocation' - Financial Times

* Financial Times *

(On The Gods Weep) 'Admirable in its ambition and daring, in its willingness to take on huge themes such as destruction and redemption' - Financial Times
