KENYON-DEANE (KD) is renowned for its all-women plays, which have been successfully used by Women’s Institute and Townswomen’s Guild drama groups. Our Script-held Series, where the script is carried during the performance, ideal when time is short or your cast doesn’t have the time to learn their lines, is extremely popular, and includes plays by Stella Wyn James, Eileen Brandon and Kay Macauliffe. Kenyon-Deane also offers a wide range of plays for mixed casts, such as the popular plays of Sam Bate, Derek Benfield, Peter Blackmore, Stuart Ready and William Dinner.
(Kenyon-Deane was formed from H. F. W. Deane and Sons and Kenyon House Press and also has an archive of plays stretching back to the 1920s.)

NEW PLAYWRIGHTS’ NETWORK (NPN) was set up in the 1970s to promote the best work from new writers. Highly successful plays from the likes of John Waterhouse, Jack Booth, Don Carroll and John Reason are popular at festivals and as staples of amateur productions throughout the year.

ANCHORAGE PRESS INC is a leading American publisher of plays for children. Many classic children’s novels have been adapted by Aurand Harris, Madge Miller and Virginia Glasgow Koste: Tom Sawyer, The Doctor In Spite of Himself, The Pinballs, Little Women and the Wizard of Oz. Please follow the link on the catalogues page to Anchorage’s own website where you can view their plays.

I hope you will find many plays amongst our catalogues to interest your drama group. We will extend the scope of our website in the near future but, in the meantime, you will find downloadable catalogues of plays and theatre textbooks, links to our overseas agents and to UK drama organisations and suppliers.

If you would like to order any of our plays or theatre books or for further information, please e-mail me at simon@cressrelles.co.uk and I will reply with a quote or despatch the books to you immediately.

I look forward to helping you chose the next production for your drama group.
