What is answering as a theatre maker?Show answer
The exam assesses how drama is made and performed (AO3) and evaluation (AO4), so every answer must realise the text in performance. Take a precise moment, decide an interpretation or concept, and make specific staging and design choices tied to the audience.
What is using the open book well?Show answer
Sections A and B are open book with clean, unannotated copies of your two complete set texts. The copy is for accuracy and precise reference: locating the exact moment you want to stage, citing it precisely, and checking detail. It is not for reading the text on the day, because the marks are in your choices, which depend on knowing the text already.
