“Honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.”
“His poems shoot arrows through the heart.”
“A sharpness and wisdom that lifts the soul and soothes the battered heart.”
“Witty observation and rollicking acuity.”
Luke Wright used to think he had the answers. Now he's not so sure.
For 25 years, Fringe First winner Luke Wright has been writing poems that wrestle with the world around him. In this new show, he discovers that certainty is rarely as useful as he once thought.
As children grow up, heroes become more complicated and old certainties begin to wobble, Wright finds himself looking again: at the country he lives in, the people he loves, and even those he thought he'd already made his mind up about.
Part poetry, part stand-up, Yes is about changing your mind without losing your convictions – and staying open in an increasingly entrenched world.
