A2 Drama and Theatre Studies: The Essential Introduction for Edexcel builds on the skills developed during the AS year to provide clear and informative guidance to Units 3 and 4 of the specification. The textbook provides further information on rehearsing, performing, directing and textual analysis, together with new material on deconstructing a script, devising theatre and preparing for the final examination. Features of the text include:

  • overviews of specification and assessment requirements
  • written and practical exercises
  • a glossary of useful words and terms
  • in-depth analysis of the three key plays – Dr Faustus, Lysistrata and Woyzeck
  • extension exercises to stretch the more able student
  • worked examples to illustrate best practice
  • sources for further study
  • advice on study after A Level.

Written by a chief examiner and a principal moderator, this book and its companion volume for AS Level offer informed and supportive exercises to ensure that students reach their maximum potential in achieving A Level success.
