have you checked and seen if there is a way for you to request books from any other local libraries. My town library is connected to several others that allows us to do it. Playwrights like Eugene O'Neil, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee and Neil Simon are extremely popular so there plays should be available at most public libraries. You most likely wont find them for free online due to issues with royalties. However you can find unknown plays online that are generally one acts and other short plays if you get to the point where you just need to fill the category and no longer overly care what play it is. However I would first see if your Library has an inter library loan program first.
yeah, i can get access to Houston's digital library but i wasn't too successful with it. i don't do ILL because here they weirdly charge for shipping and that annoys me on principle. i guess if it's the cheapest way to get an interesting play, i could look into it.
i would object to the shipping as well.
I did Same Time Next Year by Bernard Slade. I got a used copy from Amazon. Loved it.
I got really lucky and found "A Streetcar Named Desire" at the library's used book store for $1. Maybe you could check out any used bookstores in your area and see if they have any type of plays?
I can't imagine a change for library books! 99% of what I read is from the library system. If you are looking at cheap ways to buy books, try the book sale finder site. I actually use the sale mail option on the site and then get all excited when a "bag sale" comes up :) http://www.booksalefinder.com/
unfortunately, i honestly can't find anything like that (even at my dumb small town library) unless i want to pay $12 at Barnes and Noble.
how have you guys been managing this? just reading a play you can get a hold of or purchasing something or is there some online mecca where i can find copies of plays for less than $5?
