Theatre visits and film screening will be organised in which students will be expected to participate.
Prerequisite: Credit of 12 points in either English or Drama at the Group 2 level Syllabus
The major emphasis in the course will be on detailed work on a number of plays, chosen to cover some of the major periods in the history of theatre and to show something of the range of possibilities for scripted drama. Of special concern in this study are discovering the experience offered by the play through both critical analysis and practical drama work; the play in the theatre of its own time; an exploration of its possibilities in the modern theatre; an attempt to relate the work done on the play to the classroom.
Work will be done on drama as an instrument of language development, both in its use as a stimulus to expressive writing, and in its use in improving oral skills.
