What will I Achieve? A level Drama and Theatre Studies

About the course: Drama and Theatre studies can be roughly distinguished as a study of both text and performance, and the course is designed to develop students' interest in (and enjoyment of) theatre & drama through both practical exploration and academic understanding.

The course structure allows students to experience theatre as a well-versed and critical/analytical spectator whilst continually developing their own practice as an informed and technically skilled practitioner.

The course will also develop students' understanding of seminal classical and contemporary plays, whilst firmly placing them within their wider social and cultural context.
