This best-selling study guide has been fully revised in line with the new AS Specification, addressing the challenges presented by each unit from the students’ perspective.

For examination in June 2009 onwards

There is coverage of the new monologues and duologues component of Unit 2, including advice on choosing and rehearsing your monologue or duologue, as well as sample texts with practical ideas for performance.

The ‘Understanding Theatre’ chapter has been extended to include information about key practitioners (including current companies such as Complicite, Kneehigh and DV8) and a reduced history of theatre, which will assist students in their practical work throughout the course.

Students are provided with thorough information on the content of the new units and exam criteria to help them gain a better grade.
