  • 1.  Licensing a Royal Shakespeare Company Play

    Posted 07-12-2018 13:07
    I've reached out to the RSC as well as looked all over their website, at other productions, and the book version of the script itself, I've found nothing.  I'm trying to license the play, "The Heart of Robin Hood" by David Farr.  Anyone know who to contact at the Royal Shakespeare Company to license one of their works?  Other high schools and theaters have done it before, so I know it's possible.  I just need to find out how. 

    THANK YOU!

    I don't know who to contact at the RSC, but you might start with a US company that has produced it like the Oregon Shakespeare Festival or contact David Farr or his people directly.  Here is his agent page and I know he is on twitter.

    I see that it's published by Samuel French UK so I'd contact them?

    Samuel French just offers the published script for sale, not the performance rights.
