We are considering doing a tribute to one of our long time supporting member, Steve Arthur, who passed away earlier this month. He was a huge fan of the work of Alec Guiness and so we have been trying to hunt down stage scripts for The Lady Killers, The Man in the White Suit, or The Lavender Hill Mob. I have found some evidence that at least two of these have a stage script, but I can't find the actual scripts. Does anyone know who (if anyone) publishes these shows?

Yeah, I'd seen that one, but there is no info about how to get a hold of the script or who to obtain the rights from.

Thanks for looking though!
