COPYRIGHT, SALE OF SCRIPTS AND PERFORMANCE FEES

Copyright
All the plays and sketches in this catalogue are covered by copyright. This means that any public performance requires the prior consent of the copyright owner, in this case Player-Playwrights acting on behalf of the author. Permission will only be granted on payment of the appropriate performance fee. Please bear in mind that authors receive no payment whatever for their work except from the fees you subscribe for performing it.

Plays
Prices of play scripts and performance fees are shown above each summary. A4 single sided reading scripts may be ordered at a discount of 20%, if preferred to A5 booklets, when paid together with at least one day's performance fee.
The performance fees quoted are 'per performance'. Two or more consecutive performances of the same play will be granted at a discount of 20% per performance.
Fees for performances before an expected audience of 400 or more are by special negotiation.
 

Sketches
For convenience, sketches have been grouped into booklets (A5) containing 3, 4 or 5 sketches with similar themes. The price for each booklet of sketches is £1.75.
A4 single-sided reading scripts are available for each sketch separately (at a bulk price of 25p, 35p or 50p per copy depending on length, when accompanied by an application for at least one performance)
The Performance Fee for a single sketch is £4.00 for each performance. Performance Fees for two or more sketches are based on £1.00 per two minutes of performance time (as indicated beside each title)
