The Programme of Study The Drama and Theatre studies course enables students to develop and apply skills to make, perform, interpret and understand drama and theatre.

Students produce: a realisation of the performance or design and a creative log. Component 2: Text in Action - 40% of qualification Students can be assessed on either acting or design. Students participate in the creation, development and performance of two pieces of theatre based on a stimulus supplied by WJEC: A devised piece using the techniques and working methods of either an influential theatre practitioner or a recognised theatre company (a different practitioner or company to that chosen for Component 1) An extract from a text in a different style chosen by the learner. Students also produce a process and evaluation report. Component 3: Text in Performance—40% of qualification Written examination: 2 hours 30 minutes Sections A and B Two questions, based on two different texts, one written pre1956 and one written post-1956.
