Yerma A Level Drama Revision Guide (AQA)

Everything your A Level students need to write top-band answers on Yerma, in one ready-to-use guide.

Written by an experienced drama teacher and former Head of Drama, this 130-page PDF guide covers Lorca’s Yerma for AQA A Level Drama and Theatre, Component 1, Section B. Students answer three questions on a printed extract: one as a director, one as a performer and one as a designer. This guide prepares them for all three, for every scene of the play. It works as a revision guide, a companion to your scheme of work or independent study.

What’s included:

Context made clear: Lorca, Andalusia, 1930s Spain, honour, religion and the role of women, all linked to practical staging choices
The plot and structure, scene by scene, with timelines, maps and charts
Every key character explored, including the different readings of Juan, with key lines and performance ideas
Themes, symbols and Lorca’s poetic language explained
Staging Yerma: Lorca’s poetic theatre, stage spaces and famous productions
A full chapter on the Section B question, with real AQA past questions and what the examiners reward
An extract workshop with director, performer and designer ideas for all six scenes
10 full model answers covering every part of the question, with commentary, including a costume design answer
A design toolkit for set, lighting and sound, plus a costume chapter for every key character with illustrated costume plates
Sentence starters, planning frames, practice questions, a revision quiz and a full glossary
20 original diagrams and charts, with write-in practice pages ready to print

All quotations are taken from Jo Clifford’s translation and are kept short, so students can easily find the same moment in their own copy.

Perfect for revision lessons, homework, cover work, independent study and exam preparation in Year 12 and Year 13.
