What the college says

This exciting and fulfilling course develops and deepens a student’s understanding and enjoyment of theatre. Candidates will experience a wide range of theatre and performance styles, both as audience member and participant. It is important to have commitment, enthusiasm and confidence in front of an audience. We follow the new AQA specification for A Level Drama and Theatre. The course offers opportunities for close textual study of set plays from directorial, acting and design perspectives; analysis and evaluation of live theatre productions and theatre makers; and practical skill development through performance exams. The course involves the development of a wide range of practical skills alongside the acquisition and exposition of academic knowledge. Through the subject students can demonstrate many of the important skills sought after by universities and identified by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) as key employability skills, such as self-management and self-awareness; collaboration and respect for others; problem-solving and analysis; and communication and literacy.
