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 this issue of D&T, we investigate the rise of audio plays for young people, discuss Frantic Assembly’s Metamorphosis with Scott Graham, and collate a list of accessible schemes for up-and-coming playwrights. Elsewhere you will find a guide to using AI in the drama classroom, practical suggestions for using drama to aid the tradition from Primary to Secondary school and meet artistic director Kerry Frampton from Splendid Productions ahead of her session at the Music & Drama Education Expo 2024. Plus, top tips for connecting with scene partners on film, a one-off workshop based on a ‘digital detox’, a focus on Complicite as a practitioner, and our experts look at how Emilia and The Wizard of Oz can be unpacked in the classroom.
