Glyn Maxwell: Plays Two Summary

Glyn Maxwell: Plays Two by Glyn Maxwell

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."
