Performance poet Luke Wright makes the personal political in this gripping and funny take on 1980s idealism. He conjures the era’s music and politics with a speed-dabbing, indie band-worshipping protagonist who desperately wants to believe in something bigger than himself, but risks coming undone by the trappings of fame. If you’re allergic to poetry then this show will cure you – Luke Wright propels the story forwards with a novel’s-worth of words and a talent for inhabiting characters ranging from a dodgy Scouse promoter to a striving young artist. There’s only him on-stage, but it’s got the force of an eight-man production. Don’t miss it!
