Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth - A Level Drama and Theatre - Study Materials

(1)
This range of materials is intended to aid the study of Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem. It is primarily a resource for A Level Drama/Theatre/Performing Arts teachers and is targeted at Component 1 of the new AQA A Level Drama and Theatre specification. It will also be useful to the study of the play in other contexts, such as English Literature. The pack includes an extremely detailed synopsis, which is broken down into key sections which pupils may wish to explore practically or which could be the focus of examination questions. Attention is given to style and genre, and there is detailed analysis of the play's themes alongside extensive context given for the references within the play to mythology, traditional rituals, songs and stories. Throughout the pack, there are key questions presented to students with research tasks and homework suggestions. In addition, there are teaching notes on a range of sections which might be explored practically in class, with potential ideas for the focus of the exploration relating to acting as well as the themes and context present in each scene which could be brought out through practical study. Finally, there are a range of practice examination questions for performers and designers. Total: 16 pages
