Luke Wright reurns to the Fringe for his silver jubilee
It’s time to get out the bunting as the multi award winning poet celebrates 25 years on the literary frontline.
In this year of coronations and joy what better time to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Luke Wright’s service to verse?
However, thwarted in his attempts to hold a street party by the philistines on his local council and unable to shift the over-ordered commemorative plates, Wright does what a poet does best, and takes a deep dive into himself and the Britain that raised him. With all-new poems on class, excessive consumption, love and adoption, what follows is his most confessional show to date.
Wright was adopted as a baby and grew up believing that his adoption to be no big thing. Until one night he idly stumbled across his birth mother on Facebook, revealing a window to a world that might have been and deep questions about privilege, familial love, and destiny.
