Course summary

At A Level Drama, you will study a range of plays, theatre styles and theatre practitioners that will develop not only your theatre-making skills, but also you critical thinking, collaborative skills and character. For component one, you will have to devise an original piece of theatre in the style of a theatre practitioner and this will be accompanied by a portfolio documenting your process and evaluating its outcomes. For component 2, you will perform two extracts from two different plays; one as a monologue, another as a group piece. For component 3, you will sit a written paper that asks you to evaluate a theatre production, how you would perform and design a play, and discuss a directorial concept that you have envisaged for a set text. A Level Drama is considered very highly amongst universities and employers because of the huge array of transferrable skills that the course will give you.
