Show Name: Later Life Letter
Luke Wright is a spoken word artist and poet. Later Life Letter tells the story of Luke Wright’s adoption – the life he leads, and the one he might have done. What’s it like to stumble across your birth mother on Facebook? How do you honour the parents who have raised you while satisfying a curiosity about where you came from? Is it telling that you married a social worker?
Performer Name: Luke Wright
After a quarter of a century on stages across the world Luke Wright is a poet and raconteur at the top of his game. Both brazen and elegiac, Wright’s poems pull on the tidy hem of responsible existence to unravel the frustrations of the family, politics and masculinity in 21st century Britain. He marries his inventive writing with breath-taking performance skills to take audiences on an incredible emotional journey. He’s the regular tour support for John Cooper Clarke and often MCs shows for The Libertines. He’s a regular on Radio 4 and has won a Fringe First for writing , a Stage Award for performance, and four Saboteur Awards. “His performances rumble with rage, passion and humour.” Guardian “extraordinary and eloquent.” Scotsman “Hitting his stride as a cultural figurehead.” Telegraph “Cool Poems” Patti Smith “Fierce, wistful, romantic and witty… Sensational.” The Stage “Please don’t hurt me.” John Cooper Clarke
