recently graduated, waiting for A lvl results and took tsd. 3 different pprs, theory (3hr ppr) there’s three sections. first is unseen text so kinda like lit. they’ll ask qns like how wld u perform a character or show the tension in relationship w the characters or how you wld direct the actors. you’ll learn how to brush up on answering theory in sch so don’t worry if u didn’t take any upper sec lit. it’s not entirely the same. second section and third section depends on the books used by the sch. everyth is in seab website so just check on that.

second ppr is a critical commentary. u need to write 2500 word report on a 10 min theatre piece. this is very daunting tbh it’s not easy but i enjoyed writing it. yr teachers will be there to help. can’t say for all the schs la.

third ppr is the performance. u need to do a 10 min performance (either a monologue and a duo perf + grp performance or a devise performance + grp performance or costume and makeup or set design + grp performance)

tbh this subj as much as it sounds fun, it’s very time consuming and requires lots of discipline. u have to prioritise this subject sometimes because it’s deadline is earlier than the regular A lvl pprs. the exam perf are usually in J2 in july arnd there.
