Drama & Theatre

An essential teaching resource offering ideas and inspiration for all drama education practitioners

Twice each term of the academic year, Drama & Theatre brings you practical strategies, lesson plans, and inspiration to enhance your teaching. News keeps you up to date with developments in the theatre world; reviews help you to plan theatre trips, discover new resources or stock up your library; and features explore inspirational drama education initiatives all over the UK and internationally.

Whether you teach in a school context at primary or secondary level, lead extra-curricular drama workshops, or give private tuition, Drama & Theatre is an invaluable resource written for teachers by teachers, playwrights, practitioners, and the stars of the theatre world.

In the Summer 2 issue of Drama & Theatre, we’re marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio by looking into the lives and stories of the editors of this pioneering publication. With teachers’ voices at significant risk of related health conditions, we recommend a few techniques to support stamina and durability of the voice in the classroom. We’re also heading off to Singapore this issue, to visit one of its top performing arts institutions, LASALLE College of the Arts. Plus, if you’ve ever considered taking a group of students to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, we’ve got a few pointers for how to plan and organise your trip. As it’s our CPD issue, we’re digging into the programme of professional mentoring and development on offer through the National Theatre’s New Views scheme.
