Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific Study Help forum should help get responses. :redface:

I'm going to quote in Puddles the Monkey now so she can move your thread to the right place if it's needed. :h:

What I've heard is that we have to refer to how the 'audience' (of the play) may perceive things and also use stage directions to convey the point you are making. Also, refer to the setting and how the play draws on historical info...basically keep stuffing in contextual info about Kristallnacht, anti-Semitism, how Sylvia's paralysis is a symbol of America's neutrality regarding the atrocities in Germany (they would not expand the quota for Jewish immigrants) etc etc.

Oh and check the mark schemes on the WJEC website...they have some advice on how to approach questions.

Good luck!

Hi llanber, what do you mean by the 1990s context? Would you mind elaborating on that?
Thanks

A04 requires that we talk about both the setting of 1930 and the context of 1990s of when the play was first recieved e.g. the Rwandan Genocide, the War on Terror in the USA etc. and use that knowledge to explain why that is significiant
