We would just like to point out that our plays are free to perform for educational institutions and registered youth groups only. If you are an adult or youth drama group that charges a paying audience, you will then have to apply to us for a licence to perform. We are sure that you understand that playwrights actually earn very little money and our company is committed to generating some income for our writers wherever possible. The licence fees for the Playstage Group (Playstage Senior, YA and Junior) are much lower than larger, well-established play publishers.
