We’re even pretty sure that the maestro Samuel French, a theatre pioneer in 19th century London (and a pretty demanding one at that, as you can see below), would have approved. We hope all this doesn’t sound like we’re boasting, but in addition to buying online via a secure site here’s a sample of what we’ll be able to offer:

Cast and story details
of the 2000 plays we have available for amateur performance within the British Isles

Select-a-Play
our advanced search facility to help you choose according to
• male/female/total number of characters
• period
• type of play and more!

French’s parades
our email newsletter to keep you informed of up-to-the-minute new releases, new publications and events

It’s been more than 175 years in the making

we hope you’ll agree it’s been worth the wait

Of course, we’ll still be at the end of a telephone (020 7255 4300) or a fax machine (020 7387 2161) where our knowledgable staff will be happy to help and we’d love to welcome you in person to our bookshop at 52 Fitzroy Street London W1T 5JR (nearest tube stations: Warren Street, Great Portland Street, Euston Square) Monday to Friday 9.30-5.30 Monday to Friday and 11.00-5.00 on Saturday. If you can’t call in person you can write to us at the above address. However you choose to contact us, be assured of our personal optimum service and expertise — combining the very best of the old with the very best of the new.
