2025 OCR AS Level Classical Civilisation Paper 21 and Mark Scheme Combined (H008/21 Greek Theatre)

  • Greek Theatre is one of the optional components in the “Culture and the Arts” group for AS and A‑Level Classical Civilisation under OCR. 

  • The component studies ancient Greek drama: the plays, the theatrical and social context, performance practices, and the cultural significance of drama in ancient Athens. 

  • Students explore not only the literary content of plays (tragedy and comedy) but also staging: the physical theatre space, masks, costumes, props, chorus, actors, and visual/material evidence (e.g. vases, pottery depicting theatre scenes). 

  • The drama studied typically involves works by major playwrights — tragedies by e.g. Sophocles or Euripides, and comedies by Aristophanes.
