Playdatabases in Finland

Näytelmät.fi is an agency established and owned by Finnish playwrights. The agency has the largest offering of plays in Finland, from classic plays to contemporary drama. The advantages to playwrights using the services of Näytelmät.fi are many. Theatres and persons who have acquired passwords have the possibility of digitally downloading manuscripts and printing or copying these for reading or use in their theatre, for example in rehearsals. The service makes the dramatists' work more readily available and saves them the trouble and expense of sending copies by post. Registered theatres can also request performance rights digitally and digitally fill out the box office reports that are the basis for royalty payments. www.naytelmat.fi
