Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

We follow the syllabus which will give you the opportunity to study plays from the point of view of a director, designer, performer and critic. A Level Drama and Theatres Studies aims to extend the knowledge, skills and understanding you will have acquired in Year 12, by enabling you to apply what you have learned to your own creative work. In the Devised Production, students alternate between being playwright, performer, designer, and director, and apply their knowledge of different theatre forms to the creation of their own work. You will also have the opportunity to explore, and present, your interpretation of a set play, from the perspective of director and designer in a written exam.
