About this ebook
Includes the plays Broken Journey, Best Man Speech and The Last Valentine.
A car breaks down in a quiet place in the small hours. Soon a man is dead, a woman traumatised, another man accused. But who really knows what happened? Even the dead man tells a tale. Broken Journey examines the terror and beauty hidden in the mist.
The truth hurts for bridegroom Addy, when his downtrodden friend takes revenge on him in his Best Man Speech, and a cruel trick goes seriously wrong for a gang of schoolfriends when they send a mysterious new boy in The Last Valentine.

Glyn Maxwell
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.
