The driving force behind Samuel French has always been to enable people to discover and perform the best, most varied plays and musicals possible. To this end, we publish everything from new writing to classics, and license them for performance by both professionals and the vibrant, vital amateur community both in the UK and around the world. Distinctively, our play scripts are specifically designed for use by actors, directors and technicians in rehearsal and performance. Our characteristic Acting Editions not only represent the definitive edition of a play, they also come with extra features to help bring the play to life.
