A-Level – Drama and Theatre Studies
The Drama department aims to provide our drama students with an understanding of a more in depth understanding of theatre makers and playwrights through practical and written application. Play texts are explored from the 18th Century through to the modern day and students will realise these plays as actors, directors and designers. The aim of the course is for students to develop their ability and independence to work creatively as theatre makers to apply their in-depth understanding of specific drama styles to the creation of their own theatre with real relevance to a 21st Century audience.
