	Briggs has also written 24 plays adapting Pratchett's books for the amateur stage, most for his own amateur theatre company, the Studio Theatre Club, based around Oxford. Nearly all of these have been published, with amateur performance rights available. While most of the plays are direct adaptations of specific books, Briggs has also created new-ish stories by combining multiple plot strands, notably in ''The Rince Cycle'' (combining Rincewind's story from {{COM}}, {{TLF}} and {{S}}), ''The Shakespeare Codex'' (mixing {{SOD2}} and {{LL}} with ''A Midsummer Night's Dream’'), and ''Murder in Ankh-Morpork'' ({{MAA}} with added elements from {{G!G!}} and {{FOC}}; this is the only one of the plays not published).

			Briggs has written 24 plays adapting Pratchett's books for the amateur stage, most for his own amateur theatre company, the Studio Theatre Club, based around Oxford. Nearly all of these have been published, with amateur performance rights available (though not all via the same source - see his website for details). While most of the plays are direct adaptations of specific books, Briggs has also created new-ish stories by combining multiple plot strands, notably in ''The Rince Cycle'' (combing Rincewind's adventures in {{COM}}, {{TLF}} and {{S}}), ''The Shakespeare Codex'' (mixing {{SOD2}} and {{LL}} with ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''), and ''Murder in Ankh-Morpork'' (broadly {{MAA}} with added elements from {{G!G!}} and {{FOC}}; this is the only one of the plays not published).

			Too many live productions to mention, often in the role of Lord Vetinari.
