Finding Plays in Collections
Plays, like short stories and poems, are often contained
in anthologies or collected works volumes. Although they may not appear
in the catalog in either an AUTHOR or TITLE search, they can often be
retrieved by doing a WORD search on the author's last name and/or the
keywords in the title. There are also electronic and print indexes that
indicate where individual plays have been anthologized:
LitFinder(includes
