From classical tragedy to contemporary theatre — a complete guide to analysing playscripts and stagecraft, plus a ten-lesson program aligned with NESA Stage 6.
Dramatic elements, structure, dialogue, genre, staging and theatre history — plus how to analyse a script and evaluate a performance.
Open the Guide →Ten lessons — from reading the script to staging scenes — each with teaching content, an analysis task, and an exam-style question.
Open the Lessons →Drama is text written to be performed. It lives both on the page and on stage. In Stage 6 English, students analyse playscripts by studying their structure, character, dialogue and stagecraft, and they respond to live and recorded performances, understanding how directing, acting and design realise the script.
