This is not a database, but you can go back to Google
and find any play listed here by typing suttonelms followed by the title of the
play, or the author.
For example, to list plays by John Smith, type suttonelms "John Smith" into the search box.
The word "suttonelms" keeps the search specific to this site. Some
pages are at an early stage, but I'll add to them as time allows.
It is likely to take many years.
