DRAMA & THEATRE STUDIES AQA A2

UPDATED 20160330 14:20:12

In the second year you will study two published plays: Lady Windermere’s Fan by Oscar Wilde and A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller. Similarly to the first year, you will be expected to write a dramatic written response to both of these plays in the end-of-year exam. You will also choose a specific style of theatre you are interested in to create a fully devised performance. A Level Drama and Theatre Studies will train you from both a practical performance and an academic point of view, enabling you to gain skills that are suited to many different progression opportunities. Students who have achieved this A Level have gone on to study a range of different courses at university, including English, sociology, nursing, teaching and of course degree courses in drama or acting. Many students enter the professional industry of performing arts. Barnsley is a great student town with an excellent location; we are in-between Sheffield, Leeds, and Manchester - three of the North's most vibrant cities.
