Stratford Playscripts

Stratford Playscripts aims to provide a range of new drama by lesser-known playwrights, all of whom have had work produced in the theatre or on the radio. There are also some better-known titles in new adaptations.You'll find comedy, tragedy, adaptations, musicals, one-act plays all in these pages. New titles are being added regularly.

OUR SERVICE

New authors are always considered for publication. You retain the rights to your work at all times, but we publish scripts in A5 booklet format with stylish glossy cover. You get to hold the copy in your hand and show it around! As agents for the work, the title is included in our catalogue and featured on our web-site. You will receive a high percentage of any performing fees and a share in all sales of the script. If you are not interested in publishing, we are also prepared to print limited private copies of your script. Send for a brochure.

We believe authors prefer to have their scripts published in hard copy. Our scripts are in A5, glossy bound booklet form.

Plays by other authors will be added during the year. To keep abreast of new titles, add this site to your favourites.

Artistic Directors or Play Selection Secretaries
may send for a reading copy of any of the scripts on free loan. All we ask, is for its return in good condition within a reasonable time, unless you are considering it for a future production.
