Inaugural Cohort — Cambridge International AS & A Level Theatre, Zimbabwe
Arundel School
Part of the first cohort to study Cambridge International AS & A Level Drama in the country, I was among the students helping establish a new pathway for formal, advanced theatre education in Zimbabwe.
It was especially meaningful to later see other students follow in our footsteps and pursue Theatre at A Level. What began with a small class of three became part of a growing opportunity for young Zimbabwean theatre artists to take their work seriously and pursue formal training.
