Unit 5 - Text in performance 2 - Using existing play students will need to take it apart then put the script together again to create a new play.

Unit 3 - Discussion of performance - Students will write about their performance for Unit 2 and a play that we will go and see. A popular performance is 'The Woman in Black'.
