For your Works Cited page, when citing a play from a book you'll need to include both the book publication information and the play information. The examples below are for a print book. If the book is an eBook, it will also require the location of the eBook, generally the database provider and URL.

Structure: Play author. "Play Title." Title of book, author(s) or editor(s), publisher, year of publication, page number(s).

Example: Shakespeare, William. Romeo and Juliet. The Riverside Shakespeare, edited by G. Blakemore Evans et al., vol. 2, Houghton Mifflin, 1974, pp. 1307-42.

Here is advice from the Modern Language Association (MLA) for scripts and performances of plays, including works cited and in text citation.
