Exam (Collins National Theatre Plays)

The Exam is a funny but serious look at the pressures faced by pupils today, both at school and at home. The play is accompanied by teaching materials containing fantastic ideas for drama work, as well as other activities designed to answer English Framework and NC objectives.

Reviews

“This new series of plays commissioned by National Theatre Education, in editions containing excellent resources and activities, is long overdue… The Exam is a real gem – funny, relevant, clear-sighted and eminently suitable for either performance or classroom study.”
Ink Pellet
“The funniest play I have ever read.”
TES
“Written with school productions in mind, the stage directions give clear instructions about character’s mood, appearance and behaviour, while a comprehensive section of notes suggests a variety of methods young actors can use to reach a better understanding of their characters.”
The Guardian
“This script contains plenty of multi-cultural and popular culture references, which will help to strengthen its appeal to the age group it is intended for… It is an ideal choice for work by a drama group.”
