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.
