Producing a Script
Playmarket is New Zealand's Playwrights' agency, licensing New Zealand plays and helping directors and producers find New Zealand work to produce.
Directors!
If you are a director or producer looking for a good script, we always have a small pile of excellent new scripts looking for a keen cast and crew - and older ones ready for revival! - for you to consider. Please let us know (
scripts@playmarket.org.nz) if you would like us to keep you in mind when circulating new scripts and if you have any particular requirements or preferences - we would love to match you with one of our clients and help in any other way we can.
