SITE INCLUDES:
Inter-Play is an on-line index to plays in collections, anthologies, and periodicals and in a variety of languages. Separately-published plays are not included as these can be located through local library catalogs.

Inter-Play contains over 16,000 citations to plays, many of which are not included in the standard printed play indexes such as Ottemiller's Index to Plays in Collections or H. W. Wilson's Play Index. For plays by the most familiar authors (e.g. Shakespeare), you should also consult your local library's catalog.

The sources indexed range from the late 19th century through the current year. Where possible, editor and translator information for each play has been included and page numbers in the various sources where the plays are located have been provided. Cross references are provided for variant spellings of an author's name, for pseudonyms, and for variant titles of a single play.
