"The greatest master of all is Passion, who makes slaves of us all." The life of the 18th century adventurer and libertine in 45 minutes. Performing rights: martinforeman.com/scripts-an…
"Take God from me and everything I hold to be dear, my whole existence from first communion to this very evening, is a lie, an illusion."
Angel - 40 minute one-man play about a tormented RC priest. Performing rights: martinforeman.com/scripts-an…

The first post in my new substack account - Theatre Thoughts (and sometimes more) - not surprisingly looks at The Merchant of Venice.
