What are choosing from the Eduqas lists?Show answer
Texts are chosen by centres from the lists published by Eduqas, which are reviewed periodically. Example titles that have appeared across recent and forthcoming lists include pre-1956 texts such as Euripides' The Bacchae, Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, Lorca's Blood Wedding or Sowerby's Rutherford and Son, and post-1956 texts such as Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman or Wade's Home I'm Darling. Always confirm your centre's chosen texts and the current Eduqas list, because the examples here are illustrative only.
