Good luck everyone!!!
Just show off what you know about drama and do your best - its all we can do ! Drama is an exam where there are no right answers; everything is right so long as you support it with reasons/examples. So don't panic and don't forget to relax afterwards! Particularly if its your last one!!! :biggrin:

Compare what? The original performance conditions to my adaptation? :s-smilie:

Edit: Section B you need to show some understanding (even if very basic) of the historical context if the question doesn't state it. Even just a line so "I would use this not only because of X and X but also because it would stay true to the original performance in ancient greece"
However, if one question is on Historical Context - chances are the other one will be on design elements/staging :smile:

Bang on. You need to relate how say, in Section B for Lysistrata - I would use this lighting, however, they would not have had the facilities to use this lighting. That's if lighting was the sole theme of the essay. So, if you're answering about a stage element, compare lightly to Section A's original context.

Good luck, all.

Good luck everyone! anyone following me to do drama at uni?

I love that woman.

Is everyone still stressing? After reading this I am confused about section B? I thought we had to just give our interpretations of a modern version? Can someone help? I read theyre are two questions to choose from?

You will get a choice of two questions like discuss your interpretation for a specific audience OR your interpretation, focusing on design aspects. It is your interpretation yes but they will link it to a specific theme/aspect. :smile:

From what I've gathered everyone seems to be as screwed for Drama as my class and I. So let's all go into it knowing very little, having been taught very little, and give those examiners a small choice of good exempler work for which to display to the poor next year Drama students! (suckers) :smile:

Good luck everyone. Pretty petrified about this, and also worried how my arm will survive all the writing! Can't wait to have it over and done with! Stay calm everyone, and just do you best. Whatever you do, ANSWER THE QUESTION and JUSTIFY your answers.. you can't go too far wrong :smile:

I thought section C was a bit mean. Talking about ONE design element for a whole essay was very difficult! hopefully i've done alrightish on it though :tongue:
