Financial Times praises DNA as “a taut, compelling thriller” and The Gods Weep for its “ambition and daring.” The Guardian calls Our Teacher's a Troll “a raucous, skin-crawling treat” and praises Taking Care of Baby as “imaginatively realised and moving.” The Daily Telegraph commends Orphans for its “cast-iron understanding of the morally bankrupt way we live now.” Overall, Kelly’s plays are lauded for their dark humour, moral complexity, and powerful storytelling.
