Add TGC Books Play Collection
A collection from TGC Books, the largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature in North America.
The collection includes 18 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and also boasts a diverse range of voices which are often overlooked in less contemporary collections.
Our drama students are always looking for newer plays available in a digital format - and with the exception of this collection, the CZ in Alma has most of the collections available from Drama Online. This would be a welcome addition.
Many thanks,
Oliviahttps://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/tcg-books-play-collection
