What's in this guide

Welcome to York University's guide to finding plays. Plays are published in a variety of ways: individually, in anthologies/collections of one or more author's plays, or in periodicals. Some plays may not have been published. Always check the libraries' Omni All-in-One Search first, to see if York University Libraries own the play. Search Omni using the title of the play and/or the author's name. A keyword search for the title and author's name is useful for finding plays that may be listed as part of a collection or anthology. The selected resources listed below are useful for finding plays not found in Omni. Some plays may be available in full text in one of our databases or on the Internet.
