I have found a play that is in the public domain and I was wondering if my theater group will need to may any royalties for performing the piece.

It is the original script from 1904.

I would assume not, who would you pay the royalties to? But at the end of the day I am just a person on the Internet: don't let me be the final say, but break a leg if you do produce it.

I appoligise for any spelling mistakes. I may be on my mobile. Clumsy fingers and small little touchscreen keys don't mixx. I try to spellcheck, but I may miss something.

It depends on lots of things.....like the.physical script itself. If it is in any way an adaptation or (possibly) a translation it might still have strings attached.
