Drama and Theatre Studies

Assessment

Component 1: Drama and Theatre You will study two set plays and the analysis and evaluation of the work of live theatre makers. This is assessed in a written examination and is worth 40% of the A-Level. Component 2: Creating Original Drama You will devise your own piece of original theatre. You will record the process in a working notebook that forms part of the assessment along with the final performance, worth 30% of the final A-Level. Component 3: Making Theatre You will explore and interpret extracts from three different plays for performance. The third and final piece is influenced by a practitioner, most likely Frantic Assembly. The final performance and a written, reflective report form the basis of the assessment making 30% of the final A-Level.
