Week 4 focus question

We're almost at the finish line now! Here's your final question Year 10...

Week 3 focus question

Imagine you have been asked to direct your own production of The Bald Prima Donna. Who would you cast as each character? Consider actors whose work you are familiar with, and why they would be suitable for these particular roles.

Week 2 focus question

How does Ionesco use symbol and imagery to represent human experiences?

Week 1 focus question

Theatre of the Absurd makes us laugh at the trivial parts of our everyday routine. How has this been demonstrated in your class reading of The Bald Prima Donna?

Welcome!

Hello Year 10 Drama!

Welcome to your new home on the Internet. This blog has been created so that all three Drama classes can converse with each other and discuss some of the theory underpinning our study of Theatre of the Absurd. You can also use this page to discuss what you've enjoyed in class so far, what you would like to do next, what you found difficult, and what you found useful. We'll be posting some discussion questions each week and encourage you all to be as involved and vocal as possible.

Best wishes - see you in cyberspace.


Mr Rutherford, Ms Young, Mrs Mac.
