Glyn Maxwell: Plays Two
Oberon Books Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-84002-615-3 (ISBN)
Glyn Maxwell's "Plays One" saw this internationally-renowned poet's historical plays collected together for the first time. In "Plays Two", the settings are highly contemporary, and the plays are young and adventurous. "Best Man Speech" (a monologue) and "The Last Valentine" are published alongside "Broken Journey" ("Time Out" Critics' Choice), described in the "Independent" as "a bit like watching an Alan Bennett monologue being hijacked by Marilyn Manson."
Glyn Maxwell has long been regarded as one of Britain’s major poets. He has been awarded the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Somerset Maugham Prize, and the E.M. Forster Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, as well as being shortlisted three times for both the T.S. Eliot and Forward Prizes. Three of his books were New York Times Notable Books of the Year. His One Thousand Nights and Counting: Selected Poems was published last year. Many of his plays have been staged in London and New York. They include The Lifeblood, which was British Theatre Guide’s ‘Best Play on the Fringe’ at Edinburgh in 2004, Broken Journey and The Only Girl in the World (both Time Out Critics’ Choices). Oberon Books publishes his Plays One (The Lifeblood, The Only Girl in the World and Wolfpit), Plays Two (Broken Journey, Best Man Speech and The Last Valentine), The Forever Waltz, Liberty, After Troy, Merlin and the Woods of Time and the libretti The Lion’s Face and Seven Angels.
