John Webster
Brief introudction with some biographical details, a list of his plays
and a bibliography.
Arnold Wesker
Short biography, short and long chronolgies, foreign productions (although
nothing here yet), plays, fiction, non-fiction, synopses & reviews,
bibliography. The author says that the site was set up for the general
pubic and academics, but in fact the academic side is a bit thin.
Oscar Wilde
Rather an unusual approach: a series of pages, each of which contains a short quotation (sometimes accompanied by a picture) either by or about Wilde. Entertaining if you have a general interest in Wilde, but frustrating and even annoying if you are looking for specific information!

The Writers' Guild of Great Britain
If you are a writer or a would-be writer, this is a must-visit site, in spite of the fact that it is rather uninspiringly presented, even dry.
Writernet

performance, not for profit and funded by subscriptions, trust funds,
ACE and the London Arts Board. Offers a wide range of very useful
services to playwrights.

thoughts and experiences about all aspects of theatre: writing, acting,
directing, and critics.
Yorkshire
Playwrights
Yorkshire Playwrights is a group of professional dramatists, active
in all dramatic mediums (sic), stage, television, radio. The group
works to encourage the writing and performance of new plays in Yorkshire
and to develop understanding of the dramatist's craft. That's what
they say about themselves, and their site tells who they are, who
runs the society, who can join, when and where they meet, as well
as listing forthcoming events and offering a script reading service.
There is a particularly useful section on layout, which gives lots
of good advice to would-be writers, as well as offering specimens
of TV, radio and stage script layouts.
