Colleagues at the London Theatre Consortium initiative RinD have created a set of resources alongside the important work they are doing with exam boards to ensure better representation and inclusion on their specifications. This is part of RinD’s antiracism work in education settings to ensure that all young people feel represented and belonging in classrooms and theatres.
RinD have supported Pearson with the introduction of four new set texts to their GCSE examination list. These texts are Antigone by Roy Williams, A Dolls’ House by Tanika Gupta, Gone too Far by Bola Agbaje and The Free9 by In – Sook Chappell. Consultation and interviews with young people has been integral to the creation of resources to support the teaching and study of these texts.
A set of filmed resources have been made with producing theatres (Lyric Hammersmith, National Theatre, Pilot Theatre, Royal Court Theatre and Theatre Royal Stratford East) in partnership with TEAfilms. You can find the filmed resources here: London Theatre Consortium – YouTube
Additionally, RinD have created a list of 150 plays by writers from the global majority with designer Kunmi Ogunsola. Attached here for you to download.
