DRMA 151: Plays and Monologues

Play Scripts in the Holman Library

Some play scripts are published separately, but others are published in anthologies. This list is intended to make the scripts easier to find. The list is arranged alphabetically, by the family name (usually last name) of the author.  It can also be searched by play title. 

If the book does not contain the whole play, but only selected scenes (including monologues), that will be noted in the list.

Links to electronic books and streaming videos are also included.
