Nick Hern Books Playscript Subscriptions are the perfect way to keep up to date with the most exciting contemporary plays by today's top writers, from the UK's leading theatre publisher.

Each month we'll send you (or your chosen recipient) one newly published NHB playscript selected by our expert team. It could be a major premiere from a big-name playwright, a timely new version of a classic, or a fresh and exciting work by a talented, up-and-coming writer – all hot off the press, and straight from the UK and Ireland's most renowned stages.

A Playscript Subscription keeps you connected with the best of contemporary drama – whether you're a passionate theatre fan looking to build your own collection, an aspiring or working professional who wants to follow the plays of the moment, or a teacher keen to add to your library.

Plus, a subscription is cheaper than buying the playscripts individually at publication – so you'll save money, too (over 20% if subscribing for 12 months)!

In addition to your shiny new play, each month you'll also receive an exclusive subscriber email newsletter, packed with extra content allowing you to better get to know that month's play and its writer. 

Playscript Subscriptions are available in two formats:

  • Paperback: a physical copy of the play, sent direct to your door (these subscriptions are only available to customers located in the UK)
  • Ebook: a digital copy of the play, available to enjoy via the free ereader app Glassboxx on mobile and desktop devices, and in your internet browser (these subscriptions are available worldwide)
