Plays to Perform

We have over 2000 titles available for amateur performance in the British Isles. The menu on the left gives access to our latest releases, future releases, reissues and forthcoming titles which are not yet released. If you want to browse our full list use Select-a-Play, our advanced facility which makes it easy for you to search according to cast, genre, length, and period as well as title and author.

Please note that not all the plays we handle for performance are published by Samuel French London and the inclusion of a play on this website does not mean that it is available for amateur performance. From time to time it may be necessary for us to withdraw or restrict the amateur performing rights of certain plays. In their own interests, therefore, societies should always apply for written permission before committing themselves to a production. To check in the first instance whether a play is restricted or not use our online form for plays or musicals. International customers should contact us or our local authorized agents.
