Thought-provoking Drama and Fiction Arbery Books publishes and distributes the plays and fiction of award-winning playwright Martin Foreman. Foreman's work ranges from naturalistic to fantastic, from brief to in-depth, from the past to present-day, from strong emotions to loud laughter. While his early work focused on gay men, mostly in a British context, in recent years he has broadened his vision to include men, women and trans people across the world and across history. His current focus is the theatre, as a writer and director. In 2017 and 2018 he brought to the Edinburgh Fringe his version of the classic comedy Volpone. In 2018 he created Casanova Dreaming, a new look at the life of the eighteenth century libertine, and in 2019 a revised version of his one-woman play Sunset (originally one of the trilogy Californian Lives) was produced at the Edinburgh Fringe. November 2020 will see the premiere of his adaptation of the classic Satyricon. martinforeman.com Our latest podcast drama & fiction, old & new Can it wait till morning?
