If you need criticism, an analysis, or just some information on a play, visit one of the Library's online resources:
- The International Bibliography of Theatre & Dance with Full-Text database
- The Humanities Full-Text database
- The Humanities and Social Sciences Index Retrospective Collection database for older articles than what you will find in the Humanities Full-Text database.
- The Library's Catalog (see "Suggested Subject Headings" below).
This list is only a selection! For more classical plays and works of drama look in the PA's on the second floor, or perform a title search in the Library Catalog for a specific work. If you need a work that is not owned by the Library, please place an Interlibrary Loan request for it.
