THEATRE PLAYS UK Secondhand Bookshop for Play Scripts
THEATRE PLAYS UK - has a vast secondhand play shop online - we have somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 scripts on sale - many used ones from clean copies to underlined and highlighted copies, but all readable. The books are all intact and range from very new plays (such as GIANT by Mark Rosenblatt) to out of print plays (such as ALIBI by Michael Morton, based on The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie)
Our prices per script start at just £1 and rarely go above £7 or £8 and we ship very quickly.
We also find homes for collections or for those having a clearout - we hate the idea of them hitting the recycling bin as many do and while we applaud those who give to charity shops, we know, first hand that many don't believe old play scripts have a market and so they too often go to recycling.
Please check out our Secondhand Bookshop by following this link www.theatreplays.uk/secondhand-bookshop/

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
My local theatre group, Blackmore Players were going to do this, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, a while ago then COVID hit! Having a tidy up tonight and found these in the stage store. Unused x 20. Not written in at all, brand new. They cost £10 each but if we got £5 each, they would be happy. Bargain all round! If you are thinking of doing this, DM me and if you're not far from Blackmore, CM4, then sure we can sort something out. Thanks all.

Does anybody have multiple copies of Same by Deborah Bruce that they would be willing to sell?
We would like to perform in the Wellington Drama Festival but the cost of purchasing 9 scripts is quite prohibitive as we would not recoup the costs from the performance. Thanks :-)

A Proper Caper And No Mistake
I stumbled on an article in 2009 about a play called "A Proper Caper And No Mistake" by Anthea Roberts that was performed by the Buckfastleigh Drama Group. The story sounds absolutely fascinating and I was reaching out to see if there are any hard copies available of the play. Or even a digital copy. I would love to purchase one for reading.

I am looking for some scripts for Say Who You Are by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall.
I am hoping to direct this play next year but the play is out of print and I wondered if any society would have some tucked away in their library of plays?
I have permission to photocopy the one copy I have but I thought I would see if anyone had any copies first.
Nov 2014 onwards

For Sale
For Sale – Script Library
Our drama group are getting rid of our script library. We have approx 175 – 200 scripts of all genres on offer, to go as one lot.
Can provide all the details/ titles if you email a.kempster@talk21.com
The majority of the scripts are in great condition, but some of them have previously been used & are either marked up for a cast member or for lighting etc.
You would need to pick them up from Leighton Buzzard, Beds as far too heavy to send.
If interested, make us an offer!
