If you're teaching Hedda Gabler for WJEC/Eduqas's Component 3, this folder's for you!

This teaching folder will provide you with a wealth of teaching ideas and resources to teach the entire play, from both a practical and theory-based perspective. Whether you want to dip in out of the folder, or follow it as a complete scheme, this will save you hours of planning.

All teaching ideas and resources focus upon how directors, designers and performers can use theatrical conventions to realise ideas from the page to the stage.It covers topics such as: discussing this play in terms of the realist and naturalist movements, approaching the play's symbolic meanings within stage design, how to approach Ibsen's foil characters, how the characters are victims of their context and how this would affect directorial and performance ideas, alternative views of characters such as George Tesman, tempo rhythms within certain extracts, how modern day directors, designers and performers can approach Ibsen's naturalistic ideas, approaching this play from a 'modern tragedy' perspective and looking at how characters such as Hedda defy the typical tragic hero conventions.

The folder will provide you with a comprehensive range of resources to help students to respond to a variety of exam questions.

Students will be able to apply all of this knowledge and theory when approaching their exam questions.
