Theatre Studies

AS and A Level Theatre Studies is an extremely popular subject that is accepted by every university in the country, including Oxford and Cambridge We currently have four sets which are all co-educational. The group practical is worth 40% of the final grade and there are two written papers each worth 30%. Set texts studied include: The Changeling Shadow of a Gunman Our Country's Good A View from the Bridge We run regular theatre trips - recent productions include 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest', 'The Producers' and ' The History Boys'. Students can also choose to study technical aspects of the theatre, such as lighting, sound and set design. In Year 13 students become members of our own theatre company 'Theatre In Transit'. This is treated as a real company - we hire out a professional venue and perform plays that traditionally might not be performed in school but which are relevant to the course. Past productions include 'The Caucasian Chalk Circle' and 'Our Country's Good'.
