Yes! You can search the library catalog by the title of the play or screen play.  The library also subscribes to these databases:

  • Film Scripts Online - Full text access to 1,000+ film scripts from 1903 to 2006, with PDF versions as available. Includes the ability to search by writer, director, scene, race, nationality, age, subject, year of writing, and other elements
  • Literature Online (LION) Premium - 2.5 million pages of poetry, fiction, and drama from around the world, plus criticism, reference works, and full-text literary journals.
  • New Play Exchange - a National New Play Network project, digital library of scripts by living writers. It offers an inclusive platform for writers worldwide to share their work and for others to discover it.
  • Play Index - For information on over 31,000 plays from all time periods, including publication details, new editions and translations, plot summaries, scenery and technical requirements. Provides some links to the library's catalog.
