If you would like to receive the full length versions of these scripts for your reading or performing pleasure, or on any writerly topic, please e-mail me at :
and I will furnish you with a cyber-copy. You are of course under no obligation to hand over your cash in this case - it's out of the kindness of my heart.
`Hard' (i.e. nicely bound paper copies) are available for $12.95 (Aust) - see price list below. I will remind you that all the material is strictly copyright - meaning you are welcome to read it but if you wish to perform it, PLEASE inform me - apart from anything, it's illegal! Keep in mind that in the interest of bringing my art to a larger audience, I am giving you these scripts FREE OF CHARGE ! Also, if you live outside Australia, please DO NOT send me cash in the mail - regardless of the legality of this in your own country, it is illegal in Australia.
Performance rates vary depending on the nature of the season. The usual payment in Australia is A$ 45-50 dollars (as set out by the Australian Society of Authors and The Australian Writer's Guild) but in the instance of a long season it is better to lease the rights for a set period of time (e.g. six months). In some cases (e.g. if you wish to perform a piece for a school exam or use it as a teaching aide) I will grant performance rights free of charge.
Unfortunately I cannot send out tapes of my radio plays as the copyright to these are owned by the ABC. However, the scripts are available and negotiations can be made for overseas productions. For Australians (and others who can pick up ABC Radio National - 96.1 FM, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand possibly or those with wide band radios) Naturally, I will alert you if there are any plans to replay them. In the mean time, keep an eye out for my newest one McHAPPINESS which will be out sometime this year. Have a look in the Radio National programming guide `24 Hours' (available at newsagents and ABC Shops) or in the radio listings in your state's newspaper.
You can also view and order some of my scripts through The Australian Script Centre at www.peg.apc.org/~scriptscent . This site is especially helpful if you wish to perform one of my plays as they can arrange performance fees etc. Many other excellent Australian plays also reside here. You can also e-mail the Script Centre at [email protected]
