How to Find Scripts of Plays and Radio Programs?
I recently talked to a childhood friend who I had lost contact with and has lived most of her life in Ireland and England. She told me she used to write radio dramas for BBC radio. Her younger had also written a play called "Together Against Him" that had appeared on the London stage and won some awards.

I would like to get the text of anything they've written, preferably without actually asking them for copies. I have had difficulty finding any information at all on the internet. I emailed someone at BBC radio and a dealer in plays in the UK and have not heard anything.

I'm not very familiar with the theater world. Does anyone know a good source or how to search for something like this? Would appreciate any advice.

1. If the scripts were for the stage and were actually produced
contact "actor's equity" in New York or the New York Theater Guild.

If the scripts were for movies: The Motion Picture Academy of Arts & Sciences in either New York or Los Angeles.

Television scripts can probably be tracked down thru the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences in Los Angeles.

But probably the best place to track them down is thru the Writer's Guild which has offices in Los Angeles and New York.
