Plays

To produce any of these plays, including with free admission, professional companies must receive permission directly from the author, and amateur and school companies must receive permission from his agent for amateur productions, the Playwrights Guild of Canada.

Professional theatre producers are invited to contact the author by e-mailing him at lazarusj@queensu.ca. Amateur and high-school or college theatre producers are invited to contact the Playwrights Guild by going to their website.

All plays may be used privately for classroom study, without compensation, or specific permission from the author.

Under “Requirements,” the letters M (male) and F (female) indicate the genders expressed by the characters onstage. John has no objection to an actor playing a character who has a different gender from that assigned to the actor. However, if you wish to change the gender expressed by the character, involving the rewriting of any dialogue, you must receive the author’s permission, as with any changes to the text in any copyrighted play.

All of these plays are copyright ©John Lazarus, except Dreaming and Duelling, which is copyright © John Lazarus and Joa Lazarus.
