Grab your notes as we guide you the ways playwrights build characterisation, use staging devices and the conventions of genre. Not to worry, we’ll revise knowledge from previous lessons before delving into richer details. To help us, we’ve chosen the best examples from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Romeo, King Henry IV Part 1 and Juliet and Macbeth, Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot.
