When you start on a new production and draw up the budget REMEMBER that all your efforts cannot begin until and unless you have a play. Hiring of venue, print and publicity, costumes and sets and props, rehearsal expenses: none of this would have to happen if you didn't have a play and yet you do not budget to pay the playwright!
Samuel French Limited (www.samuelfrench-london.co.uk) is the world's largest publisher of play scripts. The Guide to Selecting Plays for Performance, now in its 92nd edition, lists over 2,000 titles for which Samuel French hold the amateur performance rights in the English language.
Each play entry has a list of characters, the setting and a synopsis; against each title you will also see "Fee Code A...M". The letter A through to M appearing here sets the fee amount per performance in Pounds Sterling. This could vary from 10 to 80 Pounds Sterling or approximately 800 to 7,000 Rupees.
The word 'performance' includes readings, extracts, charitable, private and may involve payment of a fee. Even if the fee is waived the name of the author is mandatory on all print and publicity material.
We also ask that the following appears on all print and publicity material 'By arrangement with Samuel French Limited (Artistes' Repertory Theatre)'.
Artistes' Repertory Theatre is the authorised agents in India for Samuel French for the issue of licences to perform. ART agreed to the agency on the express condition that we would be allowed to exercise our judgment on how much should be charged. We may charge Rs.500 where the Pound Sterling rate is Rs.7,000.
Please contact us BEFORE you begin readings and rehearsals. We can help.

Trinity Guildhall in Bangalore
TEACHERS OF ENGLISH CAN NOW OFFER EXAMINATIONS IN SPEECH, DRAMA and COMMUNICATION SKILLS!
Internationally recognized qualification in Bangalore!
It is exciting and exhilarating as candidates with their teacher and some eager parents gather outside the examination room. Students enter nervously one at a time while others try and listen to what is going on inside. At regular intervals the door opens and a flushed face emerges arms flailing with success or shoulders hunched over a not-so-good rendering. But one person is always cheered: the examiner is so nice! 500,000 candidates go through this every year at TRINITY GUILDHALL examinations all over the world and India has the highest number of candidates (well over 15,000) after the UK!
TRINITY GUILDHALL is a leading international examinations board with a difference. Our reputation rests on our continuing ability to provide respected qualifications both in the English language and across a growing range of disciplines in the performing arts. But what sets us apart is our focus on the learner, every learner. Our exams and assessments are designed to help students and trainees progress; to mark an achievement at each stage of their development, and at all levels of competence, on a journey towards fulfilment of their own individual talents and abilities.
TRINITY GUILDHALL combines the resources of London’s Trinity College Drama and Speech and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama to offer assessment across a range of performance and communication skills – encompassing all aspects of Speech and Drama, Acting Skills, Musical Theatre, Communication Skills and Performance Arts - for candidates of any age and any level. Recognized in England by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), highly qualified examiners with the backing of leading specialists and academics, assess candidates in a free choice of repertoire, encouraging them to explore the literature and the art of our own cultural roots. Artistes’ Repertory Theatre (ART), Bangalore representative for TRINITY GUILDHALL, has had hundreds of students qualify, most with Merit and with Distinction, in the examinations conducted by the visiting examiner from England. The examinations are designed to encourage and motivate all students to achieve their personal, vocational and professional goals.
