We Teach Drama's Our Country's Good webinar in early 2021 focused on helping students attain top marks in the exam questions, with a particular focus on the design elements, which is always an area those of us who specialised in acting and directing tend to find a bit more daunting to teach. The Student Pack created after the event has been an excellent resource in teaching this set text.
