how do you know?Show answer
The hush at a key moment, the laughter, the gasp, the stillness as the lights faded, the buzz at the interval, are the evidence. Judge the impact honestly: a production can be largely successful with a weaker passage, or striking in parts but uneven overall. A clear, evidenced judgement of the whole, tied back to the concept and the choices that delivered it, is the strongest way to close a Section B answer.
