Nick Hern Books is the UK's leading specialist performing arts publisher with over 1,000 plays and theatre books in our catalogue. Our list of plays includes work by many of the UK's preeminent playwrights, as well as some of the most exciting emerging writers. We work with major theatres and theatre companies across the UK and in Ireland to publish new plays alongside their professional premieres, often in the form of a 'programme/text' that combines the functions of theatre programme and playtext. We also publish many classic plays and plays in translation, together with a wide range of authoritative theatre books, many of them written by well-known theatre practitioners.
