Drama and Theatre Magazine Autumn Term 2 - 2014 Back Issue

With thousands of aspirant actors and performers heading into higher education each year, our green room panel ask whether we are training too many drama students for an oversubscribed profession; we examine the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama’s MA course on the teaching of theatre and acting; and Alicia Stanyard contemplates the future of drama teaching, considering in whose hands the responsibilities to train teachers should lie. Plus, Editor Sarah Lambie takes a look at the various playwriting competitions open to young people and speaks to two young men who have benefited from winning them; David Duthie reflects on the theatrical adventures he’s had with his young son; an introduction to Nonsuch Theatre; theatre practitioner Caryl Churchill; our toolkit on making masks; and Q&A with the Theatre Royal Haymarket’s Arnold M Crook.
