Drama Explored

Drama Defined

In this case, 'Drama' refers to written texts intended for dramatic performance. This part of the A Level English Literature course may be split into study of works produced pre-1770 and post-1770.

Why Study Drama?

Drama is one of the three areas studied in English Literature A Level. This is because dramatic texts represent some of the most significant pieces of written works in history. The structure and writing style is so distinct from prose or poetry, and a broad appreciation of English Literature requires study of Drama.

What Will I Study in Drama?

You will, of course, study Shakespeare! You'll critically analyse works such as Henry IV Part 1, Twelfth Night, Othello and King Lear. You may also read and evaluate works such as Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, John Webster's The White Devil, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan's School for Scandal.

Further Study After Drama

In A Level English Literature you'll also spend time studying Prose and Poetry in order to give you a rounded view of written English works. If you continue to study English Literature, Drama, Theatre Studies, Classics or Linguistics at Degree level, the knowledge and skills you've gained here will be of great benefit to your studies.

Recent Reviews of Drama Essays

What our users think of the Drama essays in this section:

"An ok start, but it may not be up to A-Level standard. A good, clear introduction which is straight to the point. Quotes from the play have been used, and partially analysed, which demonstrates that you have some understanding of the text. There are numerous spelling errors, so you need to re-read your work. You are missing a conclusion, which it vital for any piece of work. TSR User: boosh_slayer"

"Some of the points made in this essay were clear and well developed, including an excellent analysis of the role of an apparently minor character and bringing up good points regarding the language in that scene. However, the essay is shortly curtailed. The spelling is all over the place, making it harder to understand. The most disappointing part of the essay is the lack of comparison, besides one generic class-related assertion. There are analyses of the two character but no real indication of how Willy Russell made the characters different, and, despite the latter half of the essay title, how the audience would react to the two characters. TSR User:DavyS"
TSR
"This is a well-described description of what would be quite a drastic departure from the famous staged version in London's west end. It wouldn't have suffered from that as many of the choices made are intelligent and insightful as to the author's opinions of many of the characters; especially the narrator. However, unfortunately, apart from a couple of points in the essay where the author brings to the forefront certain (very generic) descriptions of opinions of Russell. It's very well that the play is a symbol of Thatcherism, but that isn't shown at all in the essay, essentially ignoring the latter half of the title of the essay. At points, the style of the essay is very casual. TSR User:DavyS"

"strong quotes analysis with detailed character analysations. well written"
chiny94
"Overall, a good essay, but I'm not sure if it is up to A-Level standard. Good quotes are used throughout to back up your points, and there is a bit of language analysis. Some interesting points have been made regarding the power of women, considering the time that the play was written. A short paragraph at the start of the essay which introduced the play would have been good. Lacking in length slightly, so you could have expanded on some points. TSR User: boosh_slayer"
