Samuel French London serving theatre since 1830

plays for performance

These titles are released for performance by amateurs in the British Isles.

Please enquire before commencing rehearsals, remembering to provide as much information about your proposed production as possible (i.e. name and location of venue, proposed dates, number of performances). If the venue is outside the British Isles, please state the country and nearest major city. We do require a full postal address in order to issue appropriate quotations of royalty fees.

Please note that from time to time it may be necessary for us to withdraw or restrict the amateur rights of performance of certain plays. In their own interests, therefore, societies should always apply for written permission before committing themselves to a production.

There may be restrictions on the performance of certain plays overseas. Amateurs intending production overseas must, in their own interest, make application to us, or our authorized agents, before starting rehearsals or booking a theatre or hall.
