DNA Costumes

Pink Jacket

Childlike innocence and naivety

Blue headband

Headband is a childish accessory – adds to sense of childishness

Colour blue – symbolises her loneliness as she seems separate from the group and Phil rarely talks to her

White bracelet

White – symbolises innocence

Can play with it to express her frustration and uneasiness about the morality of the group’s behaviour

Neat white ironed school shirt and tied-back tidy hair

Prefers to stick to the rules – listens to school authority/wears uniform correctly

Light grey trousers

Smart – reinforcing above

Grey – hints at the sadness she feels internally and how empty she feels – killing her hamster reveals this to the audience

Bright White, Clean, New Shoes

Distances herself from the rest of the group – cleanliness of shoes reflecting her lack of involvement and ‘clean hands’ over what the group are doing

White – represents purity and her moral objection to what the group are doing

Chewed/Bitten Nails

Indicates her nervousness
