My theatre company is interested in adapting the popular movie series into a stage play, how should I approach the original author to get permission?

The best way to approach the original author is to send an inquiry that includes a detailed explanation of your theatre company's plans for an adaptation, a synopsis of the movie series and any additional material that shows how serious you are in bringing the story to life on stage. If the author chooses to grant permission, it is important to secure this in writing.

The first step would be to locate the author's contact information, preferably via their publisher or agent. Theatres should ensure that any permission requests are properly formulated and clearly articulate the intended use of the work. It might also be beneficial to have a proposal outlining the intent, budget and expected impact of the project for further persuasion. Ideally, permission would be acquired prior to any development or production work on a piece.
