Playstage Senior was formed in 2008 by playwright Lynn Brittney and friends. Unlike other companies that offer playscripts, Playstage Senior is committed to offering plays that contain good parts for older actors, because we understand the needs of most amateur dramatic groups!
The plays contain some younger parts but the majority of the roles are for actors aged forty and beyond.
Where you can find our plays
All of our plays are available in reading sets at local drama libraries in the UK (see library lists). If they are not, then please let us know and we will endeavour to make sure that the library in question is fully supplied as soon as possible. British drama groups overseas, in embassy and expatriate communities, can apply to us to rent reading sets. Please send an email to administrator@playsforadults.com and we will give you information on rental charges etc. Similarly, if any English-speaking drama groups anywhere in the world (USA, Canada, Australasia for example) would like to do the same, we will endeavour to accommodate you.

On the website here you can see the full range of plays, One Act and Full Length on offer and the price lists. If you would prefer to receive a catalogue through the post, please send a stamped addressed A5 envelope to PLAYSTAGE, PO BOX 52,
