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.

Past subscription plays have included:

- Infinite Life by Annie Baker
- Prima Facie by Suzie Miller
- Red Pitch by Tyrell Williams
- The Welkin by Lucy Kirkwood
- The Flea by James Fritz
- Mlima's Tale by Lynn Nottage
- BLACK SUPERHERO by Danny Lee Wynter
- Big Big Sky by Tom Wells
- Backstairs Billy by Marcelo Dos Santos
- untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play by Kimber Lee

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 book, each month you'll also receive an exclusive subscriber digital newsletter, packed with extra content allowing you to better get to know that month's play and its writer. 

Select your 6-Month or 12-Month Subscription below – and for more information about how it all works, please consult our FAQs page. Please note that subscriptions are currently only available to UK customers.
