AS ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
2000 WORD COMPARATIVE ESSAY – AO3 AND AO4 AND LINKS
Over Christmas you will need to be reading around the contextual elements of Equus and Spies as well as doing a little research into reviews of performances and articles containing other readings or interpretations of the texts. You will also need to read up on short biographies of Michael Frayn and Peter Shaffer.
EQUUS
Here is a Guardian Review of the 2010 production of Equus. This may be helpful for AO 3 http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/mar/07/equus-review
Here is a link to the Equus article on Wikipedia. There are some useful external links at the bottom of the article that you may find helpful including reviews and commentaries on the play. These links will be helpful for AO3 and AO4
Here is a link to the Wikipedia article on Peter Shaffer
SPIES
Here is a link to a documentary about the development of the suburbs. However the suburbs portrayed here are in north west London. The suburbs in Spies are of course situated in south west London. The film looks a bit old and rusty but it is a gem of a documentary. It could form part of your bibliography. Enjoy!!

On a personal note I was living in Harrow in 1972 when this film was made. Harrow on the Hill was our Metropolitan Line station. I know Grims Dyke House.
