Thinking About Plays

Description

Speech and Drama, Acting or Theatre examination candidates will almost certainly be asked questions that provide an opportunity to show what they think about plays. This handbook is a particularly useful guide for Speech and Drama students as it does not tell the reader WHAT to think but HOW to think about plays. Carefully chosen sections in this handbook ask the reader to think about aspects such as text, form, structure and stage design in both classical and modern theatre.

This handbook will help teachers and students to think about a wide variety of plays whether writing about them, performing or directing productions, and support students and teachers by providing accessible and practical advice for anyone working towards any examination in Drama or the Performing Arts.
