Working in groups within your year, you will conduct appropriate contextual research and carry out literary analysis of form, style, structure, language and thematic ideas on a number of plays. Each play will be examined in terms of the very specific challenges it poses for actors in practical production. Then plays chosen will vary dependent on the cohort of students. You will work on two individual projects, the first focusing on the relationships between language, character and narrative and the second identification of challenges and character analysis.
