I do, my predictions so far are Viola, twins, or use of disguise.

I definitely feel like Viola will be the character question which would be so great, I think madness or carnival could possibly come up as well?

Those are good ideas tbh especially bc the closest question to those before would be festive comedy which was 2017 so it’s been a while.

Could also see them focussing on use of music or doing ambition tbh too.

I know music would be terrible!! But I definitely think it’ll be in there at some point if it isn’t this year.

Hey, does anyone know which editions of the books we can bring into the exams? For King Lear and The Importance of Being Earnest I bought the Penguin Classics editions. However, The Importance of Being Earnest has an introduction. Should I be worried? I checked the specification and it doesn’t suggest any particular edition.

You’re allowed any edition from what my teachers have said! They told us which editions to buy for lessons so everyone had the same copies for ease and almost all of ours have introductions, it’s actually quite hard to get cheap ones that don’t!!
