Drama... wow .. sounds interesting ...
"...And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him." [65: 2-3]

Yer I am taking it - which board are you doing it with? I am doing it with Edxcell.
What book/play you studying?

I would re read your play, look on the internet for info about it...
If you took classes and kept a log book read through that.

Look on the Edexcell website for past papers.

And good luck!
Hope I helped! ;D

Hope you do wel,

Drama is so hard...Its not like 'Oh its just a drama exam, just acting'. Its not half of your marks comes from a performance and half from essays..
Its not easy!

Good luck!

I'm taking CIE Drama too. I reckon if you just read 'The Memorandum' and then pray like hell that we get easy questions, it should be fine. In the exam, pretend to yourself that you're in the audience of the play, and think about what you'd LIKE to see happening, to create the most drama. Then just make up a load of crap about that and you'll be plain sailing (: That's what I do anyway...

And when you're describing things, remember to include these points:
1. Lighting
2. Sound effects
3. Spatiality
4. Pace
5. Volume
6. Setting & backdrop
7. Props & furniture
8. Mood
9. Type of stage
10. Any kind of effects eg. alienation, kafkaesque, pinteresque, existentialism, absurdity, menace etc. etc.

I hope I've helped you. That might have been really tedious to read... Sorry haha.

And yea, Drama's hard. That's why I'll be happy with just a pass.
