An online catalogue of Irish theatre plays has been extended to cover all professional productions, North and South, since 1950.

The Irish Playography Project - available at www.irishplayography.com - contains a comprehensive listing for each new play including new versions, adaptations and translations.

Organisers say the project "not only defines the Irish theatrical repertoire for the first time but is envisaged as a means of revitalising that repertoire by reintroducing many lost scripts and providing a gateway for locating and clearing rights for all existing scripts".

The third stage of the project 1904-1949, will be online at a future date.
