We take applications up to 18 months in advance of the performance dates and it does not cost anything to apply for a licence. We advise you to apply before you make any time or financial commitments to a production, or before proposing it to a society. Rights can sometimes be restricted or unavailable for performance from time to time, so it best to make sure these would be available before you begin any work on a production. Strictly, you must have a licence in place before you begin any auditions, advertising or rehearsals, so it’s always best to check in good time.
If you are unable to or choose not to proceed with a production after application, you can just let us know and we can cancel it at no cost to you.
