A friend of mine is having a play produced. She asked me a question regarding how credit is given for the script. It's a question I'm not sure I can answer with 100% certainty.
She wrote the actual script, but her former writing partner assisted with story and characters. Now, in the world of screenwriting (which I'm quite familiar with) you would do it like this:
Story by
Jane Doe and John Smith
Screenplay by
Jane Doe
Question is: What is the proper wording for a play? Would it be:
A Play Written by Jane Doe
Story and Characters by
Jane Doe & John Smith
Your responses are appreciated!
