I didn't study "The Field" but as with all dramas/plays know the KEY scene well. A question can be based on any aspect of that. In that key scene, know the roles the characters play and know all about those characters themselves. Know the opening scene well and the closing scene too. Know all of the themes and the world of the play. Is there a theme of prejudice? Make sure you're able to write about that on the day. Don't forget to quote! You will lose marks for not quoting. After your quote, don't forget to explain (follow the PQE - Point, Quote, Explain) format. Please don't worry about the length of your answer/essay. I wrote nearly 2 pages on a 15 mark answer and only got 11/15. Quality over quantity is very important. But as a rule of thumb write 2 points for every 5 marks the question is worth. BUT, examiners can give you marks for one point as long as its well supported. They want to see a personal response, so don't forget that!
I did, however, study "To Kill A Mockingbird" and what I did was learn 1 "skillfully written scene" (my teacher chose the scene with the Lynch Mob/Tom/Atticus and the children. You can also choose the scene where Bob Ewell chases the children) I also created a mindmap of a "character I would like to be." I chose Atticus and mentioned how he's humble, kind, believes in equality etc. Know about the opening and closing of the novel and how a key character develops (Scout). A relationship between two characters would be handy (Calpurnia and Scout - Scout dislikes Cal at the start, but realises how much she cares for her as the story moves along.) And know your themes!! Prejudice is the central theme and you can easily develop an answer about how the coloured community of Maycomb are discriminated against.
sparknotes and e-xamit have very good sample answers/notes on both your studied play and novel. Hope this somehow helped.
Remember: examiners want to give you marks! Best of luck with your studies!
