Prescribed Drama Texts - Literature in English (Senior Secondary)

Drama brings literature to life through direct speech and action. This course gives a strict textual analysis of the African and non-African plays required for the JAMB UTME. We study texts like The Marriage of Anansewa and Antony and Cleopatra to uncover plots, themes, and settings. Isolating drama prevents cognitive overload and lets you focus on how playwrights build stories through dialogue. Understanding drama goes beyond passing exams. Analysing motives and speech improves your ability to read people and communicate clearly. These skills are vital for careers in law, media, politics, and public speaking. Applying lessons from these plays to social reality helps you grasp the complexities of human behaviour and societal problems in Nigeria and the wider world. By the end of this course, you will hold concrete analytical skills. You will know how to differentiate the styles of various playwrights and dissect complex dialogues. You will correctly determine themes, plots, and settings of the prescribed texts. You will also know how to apply the lessons of the plays to current reality, ensuring you answer exam questions on these texts accurately. This course targets senior secondary school students preparing for the JAMB UTME and WAEC examinations. It also serves university students needing a refresher on basic drama analysis or anyone interested in stage plays. Casual readers will also gain from learning how to break down dialogue and identify the core messages in classic African and global literature.
