A brand new addition to our range of Woyzeck resources for Edexcel's Component 3, Section C. This product will stretch your most able Drama and Theatre Studies students. It is a photocopiable collection of critical essays about Woyzeck. Learn More

A must if you are teaching a play by Ibsen, or indeed any other naturalistic playwright.
If A Level students are either creating or studying naturalistic or realistic drama, this photocopoable pack is for them. The series of interesting and challenging articles will lead them to understand exactly what naturalistic drama is, where it has evolved from and how it can be achieved.
This new photocopiable pack of articles will provide students with much inspiration and theory which they can apply to their own devised pieces, or apply to a naturalistic play they are studying. Teachers often look for materials that will challenge and extend students' studies-this product is one such example. The articles will ensure that students use original and complex ideas within their studies and will help to show students how they can demonstrate originality and depth when analysing or discussing naturalistic drama. Whether using them as student handouts, independent reading homeworks, or just as an aid to help planning lessons, these articles, with accompanying revision questions will ensure that you cover a wide range of drama movements and names when exploring any naturalistic piece of drama.

With the National Curriculum failing to recognise Drama as a subject in its own right at Key Stage 3, many teachers can feel a little in the dark when it comes to planning for their younger students. We prefer, however, to view this as a positive. The possibilities for planning are endless and lack of structured statutory guidance surely allow us to tackle this subject as creatively as we wish.

In this brand new booklet, our writers have created an entire half term's worth of planning for each of your key stage 3 year groups, focused entirely around the work of Bertolt Brecht. A fantastic resource to introduce the work of Brecht to your future GCSE and A-Level students. Learn More

Three complete schemes of work, three plays, one common theme: transformations.

Our writing team have selected three of what they consider to be the some of the best plays to explore with your younger students and created the perfect resource for you to tackle all three. Learn More
