The Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR) has recently acquired Twentieth Century North American Drama.
When complete this database will include the full text of 1,500 plays written from the late 1800s to the present by more than 100 playwrights from North America. Many of these rare and hard-to-find works are either previously unpublished or out of print.
The plays are all deeply indexed, allowing for keyword and multi-fielded searching. In addition to the text of the play the database provides a dynamic sense of the theatrical production through images of playbills, posters, production photos, and other materials relating to the plays.
Currently this edition of Twentieth Century North American Drama contains 319 plays by 53 authors. This database can also be reached through Databases on the SULAIR web site.
