Send twenty five dollars
Payment is made on the payment page. Put your name and the titles in the note so the two halves can be matched.
Receive the script
A PDF arrives by email within a few days. A hard copy is posted, so send a postal address with your request.
Script request
Tell us what to send, and whereA reading copy exists so that you can read the play, share it with a director or a selection committee, and decide whether it belongs in your season or your syllabus.
A licence is the permission to put the play in front of an audience. It names the venue, the dates, and the number of performances, and it is agreed separately from the script order.
Buying a script, or buying the printed collection, never carries performance rights with it. Write with your production and a quotation comes back.
Four plays in one book
If you want to read several plays at once, the printed collection may serve you better than four separate scripts. When Churchyards Yawn and Other Plays gathers four recent works with a foreword by Chuck Fager and contextual material for actors, directors and educators.
Not sure which titles to ask for
Thirteen playsThe catalogue lists every play with its cast size, running time and subject, and lets you star the ones you like so you can request them all in one message.
Review copies
Teachers considering a play for a course can ask for a review copy rather than buying one. Say what you teach, the level of the class, and the term you are planning for, and the right material will come back with it.
Where to send the payment
The payment page carries the current ways to pay, for scripts, for licence fees, and for private study. Send the request first, or send both together, whichever is easier.
New plays, new productions, twice a year
A short letter when a play is finished, when a production opens, or when new classroom material becomes available. Nothing else.
