Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

The Drama A-Level allows students to explore theatre in many forms. Whether your passion is primarily as actor, designer or critic of live theatre, you will be engaged, inspired and no doubt occasionally exhausted by your involvement in the course! You will experience live professional productions, both in our own award winning Aldridge Theatre and in other venues from West End to Fringe, and will have the opportunity to devise your own original performance as well as act or design for scripted plays. You will study a variety of scripts from different eras and of contrasting styles, learning about the role of director as well as performer/designer. Written work plays an important role alongside practical exploration.
