I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH. OR SHAKESPEARE

It is a truth universally acknowledged that seeing as I haven't picked up either of the set texts (Lorca's Yerma, and A Midsummer Night's Dream) in about six months, I am going to HARDCORE FAIL the paper tomorrow.
But I am going through some of the examiner's comments on previous papers and they are reassuringly amusing.
By the way, English coursework grade is secured! Very high grade achieved by GRATUITOUS RANDOM REGENERATION QUOTING. Oh, Rivers. Oh, Sassoon.
I love Drama really. I just... haven't done any revision.
In good news, I am hopefully going to see Ed Byrne. Yayyyyyyyyyyy! and His Dark Materials at the Birmingham Rep. The last time I saw it I was blown away, so I hope the new production lives up to that. :D

some examiners noted the intrusion of some text-speak such as ‘I wud have Hipp stay cool’
There were some graphic descriptions of Titania’s sexual interaction with the Donkey.
A few, perversely having chosen this question, stated that as Yerma was the centre of this play, Juan had no significant dramatic interest.
Some gave directional suggestions contrary to the text such as sitting down together, rubbing each other’s arms, or having long passionate kisses. These answers revealed significant misunderstanding of Lorca’s text.
