Best Man
By Glyn Maxwell
Now available to book for your English and Drama Departments!
This stunning revival of Glyn Maxwell's one man show starring Danny Swanson is now available to book for your drama department. It can be a challenge to organise whole year theatre trips, financially and logistically, particularly following the pandemic and the added barriers that has created. So let's bring the theatre to you!
The Best Man tells the story of Bailey, the best man at his oldest friend's wedding. In his search for anecdotes to embellish his speech, Bailey has stumbled across a secret so shocking that it changes everything. And now it's time for his speech. Just what does he know? And how much will he reveal?
Moving between the fraught wedding reception and the darkest moments from their past, The Best Man is a tale of love and cheating - with a sting. An intimate and emotional drama with a fresh and innovative style, The Best Man breathlessly recounts fifteen years of love, sex and betrayal, ratcheting up the tension and mystery until its devastating conclusion. A nuanced yet larger than life performance, this must see show is a master class in delivering an engaging and spectacular solo actor show.
