In terms of bookshops the best are: National Theatre bookshop Samuel French (see web link below) Foyles (Charing Cross Road) If you don't mind what plays / musicals you go see - go to the half price ticket booth everyday and pick from what they have on offer. You'll get to see some great stuff and not pay full price.

The offstage bookshop in Covent Garden definitely. Used to be in Camden but relocated. www.upstairsatthegatehouse.com I used to work there. It's a small fringe theatre. Seats 128 people. Puts great shows on. 'Othello's showing now. I think the next show is a musical. Also, go see Avenue Q. I've heard it's amazing and I'm off to see it on October 27th.

Try the National theatre book shop. Otherwise play publishers such as Samuel French and Josef Weinberger, both of whom have offices in London may be able to help you.

there's a bookshop called 'French's bookshop', and EVERYBODY in London, when looking for any possible play, is going there. Close to Warren Street Tube station. good luck.

I would recommend that you visit the Royal Court at Sloane Square; their bookshop stocks copies of all the new plays they've recently put on (for £2 each), and also copies of other playtexts. The bookshop opens during the week after 3pm. The Royal Court's main theatre downstairs is about 300 seats, so any of the plays that they have put on would be suitable. You can also order materials online at www.samuelfrench.com. If you are also planning on going to see a show whilst you are there, check out what is playing at the National Theatre at the minute, Piano/Forte at the Royal Court has received some mixed reviews, and Rock n Roll by Tom Stoppard is supposed to be very good. See www.whatsonstage.com for full listings. In terms of musicals, we don't see many new British musicals - there's an American invasion at the moment in terms of theatre! Avenue Q and Wicked are superb, as is Billy Elliot and Mary Poppins. Enjoy your visit!
