Musical Script Types
Perusal Script
As a result of the large range of titles we offer – some are not yet formatted into the Stagescripts house style. In advance of the formal publication, we offer you an advance, pre-publication version, of the script. It is provided in full, as originally received from the playwright, but without having been proof read and with no re-formatting into our house style. If, following a read of the script and a royalties quotation, you decide to stage a production we will push the script to the top of the re-formatting queue, allowing you to buy copies for rehearsal use.
Preview E-Script
A free preview script containing a significant part of the full script and provided as a pdf file sized for A4 paper.
E-Script
The full script provided as a pdf file for A4 size paper. You have a maximum of three attempts to download the file within a period of 30 days after the order date.
You are licensed to print this once for your personal use. If you want to make multiple copies for use at rehearsals, a Script Copying Licence is required in addition.
Please Note
- E-Scripts are not refundable once purchased.
- Viewing the e-script on your mobile phone or tablet or PC without actually downloading it to a hard drive may count as a download.
Printed Script
A printed script provided as an A5 paperback acting edition. You are licensed to use this for your personal use. If you want to make multiple copies for use at rehearsals, a Script Copying Licence is required in addition.
Script Copying Licence
If you've bought an e-script or a printed script, this licence permits you to make copies of it for rehearsal use. PLEASE NOTE: The licence will be e-mailed to you as an A4 pdf file - it is not instantly downloadable.
Royalty Quotation Form
The rights to perform and record for all the titles in our catalogue are managed by Stagescripts Ltd.
You should not assume that a licence to perform will always be granted. Please request a quotation at the earliest opportunity to both signal your intention and so be added to our forward plan of possible productions. If you decide to go ahead - a Licence to Perform will only be issued on receipt of payment using your Quotation number as the reference.
