Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

The course is a highly regarded qualification that offers a balance between the academic study of performance texts and the opportunity to present creative responses to a range of different plays for an audience. The course allows for a deeper exploration of how social, cultural, political and historical context shapes theatre whilst allowing for hands-on experience with all that theatre has to offer. The course is supported with the continued opportunity to be involved in extra-curricular projects with our ever-expanding after-school programme.
