Mastery Evidence
  • Explain how a director's staging choices (e.g., set, lighting, blocking) affect the audience's understanding
  • Compare two productions or adaptations of the same play and evaluate different interpretive choices
  • Analyse how a filmed or live production stays faithful to or departs from the original script
Assessment Prompt
