You will study a wide variety of texts to see how they might be realised:  How acting, directing, scenery, costume, sound and lighting design make the realisation possible  What practical skills are needed to enhance and enrich your textual study  How different styles, conventions and theatre practice influence the choices made when realising a play in performance  How theatre and stage design have evolved historically
