AQA A Level Drama Play Guides: Antigone, Hedda Gabler


Practical study guides that provide clear synopses, context and production history

These shiny, A4-size books are a welcome addition to a series in which guides to The Glass Menagerie and Our Country's Good have already been published. All four titles are by Annie Fox, who has been an actor, head of drama in a state comprehensive school and trainer of drama teachers, so she knows what she is talking about.

Each book is presented in three sections: How to explore a text for A Level Drama, a detailed analytical study of the text, and advice about examination preparation and writing answers. The first of these is generic and common to both books before you get down to the specific text.
