We are working towards making electronic versions of our titles available shortly. 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), was produced at the Edinburgh Fringe. writing: 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

Martin Foreman is the author of two novels, two short story collections and several plays, all available from Arbery Books. He is the winner of the 2012 London Solo Festival New Writing Award and the 2018 Pitlochry Festival Theatre Short Play Award. Martin was born in Dundee, went to school and university in Edinburgh and spent many years working and living in London and across the world. He has returned to live in Scotland and does not expect to move again. For those who insist on categories, he is a British writer who happens to be gay and whose primary themes are love, loss and the intensity of emotions. As well as writing, he directs plays and occasionally acts in theatre and short films.
