How do you obtain the rights to preform this play and not have it violate copyrights? I have been thinking of doing TPB on myself in my hometown.

Are the rights to the play “The Princess Bride” available? If so, who might I contact to obtain permission to produce it?

Same question. Who has the rights to this show? I’ve got students who want this to be their fall play. What a hoot that would be!

It appears that you did this without rights or you would answer these requests.

Darlene, it appears that you cannot read or else you would realize that we did not produce this play. There is no reason to respond to something that we were not involved with.

Here’s a crazy idea, why not contact the people who produced the play.

Please, do everyone a favor and read first before commenting.

Question answered: They didn’t get the rights. They just went and did it. Any inquiries to the play group have been abruptly cut short or not answered at all. I would also highly doubt that they would even allow a stage adaptation at this point because of the stage musical being workshopped right now.

Goldmann's attourney is
Bloom, Hergott, Diemer
Rosenthal, & Laviolette
150 South Rodeo Drive,
Third Floor
Bevelry Hills, CA 90212

All inquiries should go there, but expect to be told No!
I've sent about 7 letters and that's all they keep telling me!

Try Goldman's attourney
Bloom, Hergott, Diemer
Rosenthal, & Laviolette
150 South Rodeo Drive,
Third Floor
Bevelry Hills, CA 90212

But expect a big NO! That's all they keep telling me!

I wrote an adaptation for a high school theatre production and tried to purchase the rights, but I did not receive a response from Mr. Goldman, his publisher, or his attorney.
