Search over 30,000 plays written from
Antiquity to the present and published from 1949 to the present. An
invaluable aid to finding the perfect plays to match your production
resources, Play Index covers a wide range of plays written in or
translated into English, including mysteries, pageants, plays in verse,
puppet performances, radio and television plays, and classic drama.
Search for plays by title; author;
subject (sisters, culture conflict, marriage); style (symbolism,
experimental theater); genre (comedy, melodrama, musical); cast type.
You may also limit your results to plays with a specific number
of male and/or female roles, or size of total cast. In addition, you may
search for plays appropriate for preK-6, grades 7-12, and adult.
Play Index
provides the full
publication details needed to locate the play in its published
manifestations. For plays published separately, the publisher, date,
pagination, ISBN, and LC number are given. Plays in collections link to
full bibliographic information. All Play master records contain a
link to the results of an Internet metasearch of specially selected Web
sites to link to full text, criticism, and other useful information.
You can access Play Index from anywhere with a valid APSU ID.
