Award-winning Poet and Stand-up to tour Dorset
Meander through a warm and honest evening of poems and stand-up as acclaimed poet Luke Wright returns to Dorset to share his adoption story – of the life he leads, and the one he might have done…
The regular tour support act for Dr John Cooper Clarke, Luke Wright also appears regularly on Radio 4, and has won a Fringe First for writing, and a Stage Award for performance. This February, Luke returns to Dorset to performing his new show, Later Life Letter, as part of the programme by local charity Artsreach.
★★★★★ “Honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.” The Stage
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?
Wright guides the audience through a warm and honest evening of poetry and stand-up, delivered with the wit, pathos, and silliness that has made him one of England’s most popular live poets. This is a frank account of what it means to be someone’s child, told by a performer who really knows what he’s doing. Expect raucous laughter, tear-stained cheeks, and a smattering of drum ‘n’ bass.
