This volume serves as a comprehensive bibliographic tool designed to locate specific plays published within the five-year period of 1973 to 1977. Estelle A. Fidell, a seasoned editor in the field of library science and reference indexing, compiled this work to assist researchers, librarians, and theater practitioners in navigating the vast output of dramatic literature during the mid-1970s. The index provides a structured methodology for identifying plays by author, title, and subject, ensuring that users can efficiently access dramatic texts across various collections and anthologies.

The work functions as a standard, high-utility reference tool for scholars and librarians requiring precise bibliographic control over mid-1970s dramatic literature. Its systematic organization and clear indexing methodology provide a reliable, albeit specialized, resource for historical theater research.
