Theatre in Context Requirements (from IB Theatre Guide)
• Each student carries out research into the cultural context from which the play originates and/or
research into the play text’s theoretical context, focusing on its style, form, practice or genre.
• Each student identifies the key ideas presented by the playwright in the entire play (such as intended
meanings, motifs, themes or throughline). As the author(s) of the text, the playwright might be one
person, more than one person or in some cases a theatre company.
• Each student documents this in their theatre journal.
