What to includeWith any payment

A payment with nothing attached to it is hard to match to a request, so put a short note in with it.

  • Your name, and your organisation if you are paying on its behalf
  • What the payment is for, a script, a licence, or teaching
  • The play titles, where titles apply
  • The email address the confirmation should go to
  • A purchase order number, if your finance office issued one

Ways to pay

Saved on this page

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

If nothing appears above, write and the current payment details will be sent straight back to you.

Questions before you pay

Write first if you are unsure which play suits your programme, or what a production licence would cost. Nothing is expected in advance of an agreement, and no question is too small to ask.

Receipts

A receipt is sent by email for every payment received, usually within a few days. If one has not reached you, write and it will be reissued.

Invoices

Schools, universities and civic theatres often need an invoice before a payment can be released. Ask for one, name the payee exactly as your finance office needs it, and it will be issued by Upstage Left Press.

Purchase orders

Purchase orders are accepted. Send the number with your enquiry and it will be carried through onto the invoice and the receipt.

Buy the book instead

Four of the plays are gathered in one volume, available from the usual booksellers, or signed direct from the author. Buying the book does not carry performance rights with it.

Two addresses

Whichever fits

Scripts, licences and invoices are handled by Upstage Left Press. Workshops, residencies and guest discussions go to Jeanmarie directly.
