can they ask you a Question on a specific scene or act? or even worse lines?

I get the general gist of the play but I for the life of me cannot remember specific scenes in detail. Like I know 2 scenes in detail...the storm and the end but if they ask me to refer to any other than i am screwed.

well can they? or will they be like two scenes of your own choosing?

i doubt they will, the most they could possibly specify as a theme like in 2001 (chaos and order). the syllabus doesnt mention specific scenes so they better not!

they won't give you a specific scene to talk about but it is possible that they will ask you to choose say two of your own and discuss how something is represented in these scenes for one but more likely two productions you have studied. I would have a rough idea if not a detailed one about one or two scenes and the way they have been shown through different productions...safe is better than sorry
