NHB Modern Plays is a long-running fiction collection credited to John Ajvide Lindqvist, with 115 titles published between 1987 and 2025. The series opens with Great Expectations and spans nearly four decades of work, covering a wide range of dramatic material. Early entries like Mary Queen of Scots Got her Head Chopped Off (1987) and Mrs Klein (1988) set the stage for a catalog that grew steadily through the 1990s and 2000s with plays such as Blue Heart, My Boy Jack, and Far Away.
The 2010s saw the largest burst of new titles, with adaptations like Let the Right One In (2013) and original works like Chimerica, Consent, and Nine Night joining the list. Several collected volumes also appeared during this period, including Jez Butterworth Plays: One and Stephen Jeffreys: Plays. The series continued into the 2020s with entries like Family: Three Plays (2020) and James IV: Queen Of The Fight (2022), and the most recent addition is James V: Katherine in 2025.
