Luke Wright's Silver Jubilee

About Us

Crack out the bunting! It's Luke Wright's Silver Jubilee.

Over twenty five years, Luke Wright has built up a reputation for being one of Britain's most popular live poets.
This year, thwarted in his attempts to hold a street party by the philistines on the council and unable to shift the over ordered commemorative plates, Wright does what a poet does best, and takes a deep dive into himself. What follows is his most confessional show to date.
Wright was adopted as a baby and grew up believing that his adoption "wasn't a big thing." But one night he idly stumbled across his birth mother on Facebook. This window to a world that might have been his has thrown up deep questions about privilege, familial love, and destiny. This show is an excavation of lives lived and not lived.
Wright navigates his audience through a warm and honest hour of poems and stand up with the directness and pathos that has made him one of the most popular live poets in England.
