Best Answer

Copyright protection is automatic, there is no special action required to copyright a play. As soon as a work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device". There is no requirement to register or to display a copyright notice for a work to be protected.
