Can I perform the play as it appears in a non-Playscripts edition (anthology, magazine, etc.)? |

The book published by Playscripts is the only version of the play that the playwright has authorized for production. We are obligated by our associated authors to ensure that theaters do not perform any different versions found in anthologies, magazines, etc.
Also, it is illegal to photocopy any books, whether published by Playscripts or any other publisher.
Therefore, depending on your situation, you must do one of the following:
- If you do not own as many books as you plan to use, you must order a sufficient quantity from Playscripts.
- If you do in fact own as many Playscripts editions as you plan to use, let us know how and where you acquired them, when prompted during the order process.
- If you own a sufficient quantity of a non-Playscripts edition of the play, you must verify that you are actually performing the text as it appears in the authorized Playscripts edition, by purchasing at least one Playscripts edition.
As you can understand, it is critical that Playscripts uphold the intellectual property rights of its associated authors, and we cannot license your production until we know your situation. |
