Coming in June 2020 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. fiction: martinforeman.com               theatre: martinforeman.me.uk Angel one-man play The Butterfly's Wing novel Californian Lives three one-(wo)man plays First and Fiftieth short stories Now We Are Pope one-man play A Sense of Loss short stories Tadzio Speaks . . . one-man play Volpone full-length play Weekend novel
