After re-capping the story and the themes
we created a one minute version of D.N.A in groups of 5.
We did this to sum up the play and highlight the key points and events as
well as gain a deeper understanding of the play and realise some parts were
more relevant than others.
Even though the pieces were only 1 minute long, they summed up the whole
play which made everything clearer.
Every piece focused mainly on the describing of the man they would frame.
All of the characters were throwing out adjectives to describe the man in a very frantic state. In all pieces, finding the D.N.A was one of the most crucial and
emphasised parts because it brings it back to the title and is the core of the
story.
The fact that the postman character is never seen and does not speak is a
very clever decision made by Dennis Kelly. This enables the reader to feel very
empathetic towards the postman because it is literally like he doesn't have a
voice to stop them from framing him. While the teenage characters are
describing the fictional postman the reader forms an image of him and
automatically feels sorry for this anonymous character because he does not have
any say and is helpless.
