A Level Drama and Theatre Studies demands practical, creative and communication skills in almost equal measure. You will extend your ability to create Drama and Theatre in groups and individually. You will also be required to write about Drama and to develop your powers of analysis to become an informed critic. The course will involve taking part in productions, as well as studying plays, playwrights and theatre practitioners.
