Understanding Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth for A Level Students: Gavin's Guide to this modern play for English Literature and Drama/Theatre Studies st

Understanding "Jerusalem" by Jez Butterworth for A Level Students is a complete study guide, written for students and teachers who are preparing for A level exams in 2018 and subsequent years. This edition has been written to aid both English Literature and Drama & Theatre students with their coursework and final exams. "Jerusalem" is an important modern drama which is being taught for English Literature coursework for the OCR exam board. It is also studied for the AQA Drama and Theatre A level. As far as I am aware, no guide for students of this play has yet been published. What you will find here is a literary analysis which reads the play for meaning. I hope that it will serve a wider purpose, not just in highlighting some of what makes Butterworth's play so impressive, but in helping readers to develop a reading method which can lead us to a reliable interpretation of any literary text. I also hope that the analysis here will help drama studies students to conceptualise the play, as they focus on characterisation as well as plot. A Gavin's Guide is different from other study guides: each one is written as if a personal tutor were coaching you, helping you to outperform your expectations. To date, tens of thousands of Gavin's Guides have been sold and excellent feedback received from pupils, their parents and teachers about the support these concise books give. Look inside this Gavin's Guide to find: * Detailed analysis of the play text * Guide to characters and their motivations * Major themes * Why this play has become a "modern classic" in such a short amount of time. Buy this book and you also receive an additional benefit, free of charge: email Gavin any additional questions on the text and your exam and he will reply with further support.
