Description
Paperlight Theatricals makes its grand return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe! This dark and intriguing show involves a group of teenagers covering up the death of a friend. However, when things go awry, they must decide what defines them. Will they submit to their animalistic nature or forge their own sense of morality? Dennis Kelly's DNA is reimagined through the lens of physical theatre, in the style of Frantic Assembly, to give new life to this classic piece of modern theatre.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Wow, wow, wow! I was lost in the intensity of this play. From shocking to moving to humorous. One not to miss.

Really strong performance from every actor, incredible characterisation and fluid physical theatre all round. I would really recommend it!

Really good, really intense show, and brilliantly acted. However, a lot of the action happens low to the floor and cannot be seen from the back! Would recommend getting there early to bag a front row seat (we still enjoyed it despite the obstructed view, though).

Very well acted. The tall girl - unfortunately I don’t know her name - is a superb actor, she should definitely pursue a career in acting. Congrats to everybody involved.

Oh. My. Goodness.
By far, this was the most riveting and heart-wrenching show that I’ve seen at the fringe festival. I had to look around the theater multiple times to see if anyone else was crying. Even on opening night, each actor had such a unique character and it was clear how much effort and thought they put into the role, especially when they weren’t actively speaking onstage. It was chilling to watch these characters develop into what you’d least expect, and the creativity with the props/set and the lighting was inspiring. They worked with the small space they were given and made such an intimate and enchanting performance, it was hard not to feel like you were just an invisible character in the scene. This play wasn’t even a blip on my radar before now, but seeing this production made me want to be a part of a production of it.
Overall, I can’t stop thinking about this performance. Well done!

This is the best show I’ve seen during the fringe! I’m still trembling. The cast recreate the unforgettable sinking horror of The Crucible and Lord of Flies with their riveting performances from start to finish. Excellent casting which sucks the audience internally screaming into this twisted plot. Utterly believable even as it spirals out of control. With clever inserts of physical theatre, effective lighting and minimal set, the whole experience is highly memorable.
