Written specifically for GCSE students by academics in the field, the
Methuen Drama GCSE Guides conveniently gather indispensable resources
and tips for successful understanding and writing all in one place,
preparing students to approach their exams with confidence.
Key features include a critical commentary of the play with extensive,
clearly labelled analyses on themes, characters and context. They take
studying drama even further with sections on dramatic technique,
critical reception, related works, fascinating behind-the-scenes
interviews with playwrights, directors or actors, and a helpful glossary
of dramatic terms.
A well-established modern classic, Willy Russell's Blood Brothers
tells the story of Mickey and Eddie, twins separated at birth who grow
up to lead very opposite lives, but which constantly and inevitably
intersect.
Closely following the requirements of GCSE English Literature assessment
objectives, these studies include expert advice on how to write about
modern drama. With featured activities for group study and independent
work, they are versatile and valuable to students and teachers alike.
