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 August 2018 he brought back to the Edinburgh Fringe his version of Ben Jonson's classic comedy Volpone, in addition to
Casanova Dreaming, a new look at the life of the eighteenth century libertine.



In 2019 an revised version of his one-woman play, Sunset (originally one of the trilogy of Californian Lives), will be produced at the Edinburgh Fringe.
